Study on morphology, growth physiology of alexandrium and transformation of psp toxins in benthic clam, polymesoda similis

A morphology, growth physiology and toxicity study was carried out on five clonal culture of Alexandrium species i.e. A minutum, A. tamarense, A. leei, A. affine and A. tamiyavanichii. These species were originally established from various coastal and estuarine waters in Peninsula Malaysia. The cl...
