Abbreviation

Progenitors

Name
Dinophysis fortii
Name
Dinophysis ovum
Note
The profilles of this species (of the "D. acuminata" complex) from two regions, Galiica (Spain) and Gulf of Mexico (USA) showed only OA
Name
Dinophysis sacculus
Note
Only traces of OA in cultured strains from Atlantic (Galicia, Spain) and Mediterranean (France) European coastal waters; both with predominance of PTX2 and only traces of DTX1
Name
Dinophysis acuminata
Note
This species has strains with profiles containing: i) High content of OA (> 40 pg/cell) ONLY in the European Atlantic Arc; 1 strain in ii) Dominated by PTX2 and low to moderate (1-10 pg/cell) DTX-1 in NE USA, and eastern Japan. The same profile in net tows with D acuminata in southern Chile and picked cells iii) High in other congeners (DTX1 but no OA) and PTXs (NW USA and Canada) iv) No OA related toxins; only PTXs in Atacama (N Chile) and Danish fjords
Name
Dinophysis miles
Note
High content of OA in HPLC analyses of picked cells in The Philippines. Cultures needed to confirm de novo production
Name
Dinophysis norvegica
Note
Only traces of OA in Northern European and Japanese strains with high content of PTXs No OA in NE USA cultured strains with a profile dominated by PTX-12 and only one congener of OA, dihydro-DTX1. Only PTXs in NW US strains
Name
Dinophysis acuta
Note
Most strains have a combination of 1.okadaates: OA and DTX1 or DTX2 and minor contribution of diol esters (OA-D7, OA-D8, OA-D9) 2. PTXs: PTX2 (dominant), PTX-11 with a few exceptions having only PTXs
Name
Prorocentrum caipirignum

Name
Prorocentrum concavum
Note

Name
Prorocentrum lima
Note
Murakami et al 1982
Name
Prorocentrum rhathymum
Note
Caillaud et al 2010
Name
Prorocentrum texanum
Note
Gulf of Mexico
Name
Dinophysis caudata
Note
High content of OA in HPLC analyses of picked cells in The Philippines. Cultures needed to confirm de novo production OA eventually found in LC-MS analyses of picked cells in the Galician RĂ­as (NW Spain). Not found in cultures of only 2 strains tested

METHOD FOR DETECTION OF OKADAIC ACIDTOXINS GROUP IN EDIBLE MOLLUSCS Rev 4 October 2010 Standard Operating Procedures method for the quantitative determination of OA and other carboxylic toxins of the OA group including DTX1, DTX2, DTX3 by a colorimetric phosphatase inhibition assay. The OkaTest method fulfils the requirements of Chapter III A (4) a, b, and c of Annex III to Regulation (EC) 2074/2005 and can be used as supplementary method to EU-RL LC/MS/MS method only for the detection of Okadaic Acid group toxins OA, DTX1,DTX2, DTX3 including their esters. The use of OkaTest method is not an alternative to the EU-RL LC/MS/MS method.
