Marine Biotoxins and Bioactive Marine Natural Products
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine biotoxins are bioactive marine natural products produced by microorganisms such as dinoflagellates, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and bacteria. These toxins are often transmitted through the food chain and accumulate in marine organisms consumed as seafood. When humans consume poisonous seafood, this can severely affect their health and in some cases lead to death. Elucidating the chemical characterization of marine biotoxins is one of the most essential aspects of assessing and managing the human health risks posed by seafood. Furthermore, understanding the ecology, distribution, and physiology of organisms that produce, multiply, and accumulate toxins is an important research area in order to understand the dynamics of marine toxins in the marine environment.
The Topic “Marine Biotoxins and Bioactive Marine Natural Products” aims to bring together the latest knowledge in the field to elucidate the dynamics and pathogenesis of marine biological toxins.
