The Toxic Extract of The Marine Flagellate Prymnesium Patelliferum: A Study of its Effects on Cell Membrane Properties,

Abstract

A new test method for the algal toxin desired from Prymnesium and Chrysochromulina has been developed. The toxin from Prymnesium interact with sodium and calcium channels in nerve ending particles. The toxic effect on fish could therefore be due to a disturbance of ion regulation of the fish gills.
