The genus Ostreopsis includes some species that produce high biomass blooms and/or
synthesize toxic compounds that can be transferred through the marine food webs or …

Several species of microalgae can produce potent phycotoxins that negatively affect aquatic
organisms and their consumers following different exposure routes, as well as toxicokinetic …

Blooms of the benthic toxic dinoflagellate genus Ostreopsis have been recorded more
frequently during the last two decades, particularly in warm temperate areas such as the …

Blooms of Ostreopsis cf. ovata pose an emerging health threat, causing respiratory disorders
in various coastal regions. This dinoflagellate produce potent phycotoxins named ovatoxins …

Collecting methods generally used to determine cell abundances of toxic benthic
dinoflagellates (BHAB) use cells dislodged from either macrophytes or artificial substrates …

Intense blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis producing palytoxin (PlTX) analogs,
mainly ovatoxins (OVTXs), have been a recurrent phenomenon along several …

The comprehension of microbial interactions is one of the key challenges in marine
microbial ecology. This study focused on exploring chemical interactions between the toxic …

In the framework of benthic harmful algal bloom monitoring, the most common sampling
strategy is based on the collection of macroalgae, and the abundance of epiphytic …

No studies have been carried out on the benthic harmful algal blooms (BHABs) along the
Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean, and little is known about the diversity of blooming …

Ostreopsis cf. ovata is a benthic dinoflagellate very common in tropical and temperate
