Gene expression in the biosynthesis of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins in dinoflagellates: a mini review

Some dinoflagellates are known to synthesize saxitoxin (STX), a potent neurotoxin that causes severe paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). In addition, several freshwater species of cyanobacteria also synthesize the same toxin with the same biosynthetic pathway and genes responsible. This review focu...
