PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POISON PRODUCED BY GONYAULAX CATENELLA IN AXENIC CULTURE

Abstract

The paralytic poison produced by the dinoflagellate Gonyaulax catenella grown in axenic culture has been isolated in pure form. A study of its chemical, physical, and biological properties indicates that it is very similar if not indentical to the poison isolated from toxic Alaska butter clams and California sea mussels.
