Abstract:

{Toxigenic pennate diatoms of the genus Pseudo-mitzschia produce domoic acid (DA), the neurotoxin linked to amnesic shellfish poisoning. We investigated how Fe and Cu affect growth and DA production by P. multiseries and P. australis clones isolated from Monterey Bay, California. Growth rates of these species could be inhibited by both Fe limitation (pFe 20.5
