INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF HARMFUL ALGAE12 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>Internati<strong>on</strong>al</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>Harmful</strong> <strong>Algae</strong>, Copenhagen, Denmark, 4-8 September 2006derivatives including glycosides canaccumulate in suspensi<strong>on</strong>-feedingshellfish, leading to positiveresp<strong>on</strong>ses in the mouse bioassayfor lipophilic marine biotoxins.Yessotoxins are globally distributedin coastal and shelf waters ofdiverse locati<strong>on</strong>s, including Japan,Norway, Chile, New Zealand, Italyand the North Sea. There are threeknown natural sources ofyessotoxins – all are marinedinoflagellates bel<strong>on</strong>ging to theg<strong>on</strong>yaulacoid species Protoceratiumreticulatum, Lingoludiniumpolyedrum and G<strong>on</strong>yaulax spinifera.Yessotoxins were originally classedas am<strong>on</strong>g the diarrhetic shellfishpois<strong>on</strong>ing (DSP) toxins, but they arenow regarded as a distinct group asthey do not induce diarrheagenicsymptoms. We analyzed theyessotoxin compositi<strong>on</strong> of P.reticulatum isolates from theBenguela Current, South Africa andcompared the profiles to cultures ofP.reticulatum and G. spinifera fromthe North Sea off the east coast ofScotland by high performance liquidchromatography coupled withtandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The data <strong>on</strong> the culturedisolates were then compared to theyessotoxin profiles found in naturalphytoplankt<strong>on</strong> assemblages fromboth locati<strong>on</strong>s.PO.05-01Direct selective separati<strong>on</strong> ofdomoic acid by molecularlyimprinted polymersSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.05 - Toxin analysisTakuya Kubo 1 , Kunimitsu Kaya 1 ,Tomoharu Sano 21 Tohoku University, SENDAI, Japan2 NIES, TSUKUBA, JapanIn the analysis of domoic acid (DA)in shellfish, phytoplankt<strong>on</strong> andseawater as well as human samplessuch as blood and urine, severalmethods have been reported.However, the procedures of themethods are complicated. In orderto simplify the procedures, selectiveseparati<strong>on</strong> of DA and its isomersfrom samples is the most effective.For the reas<strong>on</strong> above, wedeveloped a novel selectiveseparati<strong>on</strong> medium of DA using themolecular imprinting technique(MIT) that is the most effectivemethod for selective molecularrecogniti<strong>on</strong>. In this study, we usedan advanced method of MIT, named'fragment imprinting technique'. Todesign a template for DA, wefocused <strong>on</strong> carboxylic acid groupsin the molecule, and selectedseveral carboxylic acid groupc<strong>on</strong>tainingcompounds. In the caseof o-phthalic acid as a template, theselective recogniti<strong>on</strong> of DA wasobserved by high performanceliquid chromatography (HPLC),while the medium prepared usingm- or p-phthalic acid as thetemplate recognized DA <strong>on</strong>ly to asmall extent. Finally, we achieveddirect selective separati<strong>on</strong> of DAfrom shellfish-extracted sample byHPLC using o-phthalic acidimprinted polymer.PO.08-16Effects of microcystins <strong>on</strong> humanpolymorph<strong>on</strong>uclear leucocytesSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.08 - ToxicologyP Kujbida, A Campa, P Colepicolo, EPinto, E HatanakaUniversidade de São Paulo, SAO PAULO,BrazilMicrocystins (MCs) are cyclicheptapeptides produced bycyanobacteria present inc<strong>on</strong>taminated reservoirs.
