Abstract excerpt
Alexandrium minutum is a toxic dinoflagellate with numerous strains known to produce paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs). Given the ecological importance and socio-economic impact of A. minutum blooms in coastal waters worldwide, this study assesses the genomic diversity by analysing clonal cultures obtained from an exceptional A. minutum red tide event that occurred in the Ría de Vigo (NW Atlantic coast of Spain)...
