| toxicity of australian and french polynesian strains of gambierdiscus toxicus (dinophyceae) grown in culture: characterization of a new type of maitotoxin. | gambierdiscus toxicus strains isolated from australia and french polynesia were grown in modified f2 and f10 nutrient media and the cells extracted for ciguatoxin and maitotoxin. the high nutrient enrichment of f2 media induced aberrant cell morphology in both strains whereas the majority of cells grown in f10 media had the typical lenticular shape of wild g. toxicus cells. the australian strain grew faster and produced greater cell densities than the french polynesian strain. different chromato ... | 1990 | 2264067 |
