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 2006When a red tide occurs, filterfeedingbivalve molluscsaccumulate the toxins produced bytoxic dinoflagellates and becometoxic for human c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>.Mussels are not affected by toxinaccumulati<strong>on</strong>, and when the bloomstops, they undergo a naturaldetoxificati<strong>on</strong> process.The detoxificati<strong>on</strong> speed depends<strong>on</strong> many factors, not wellunderstood so far. Am<strong>on</strong>g others,food availability has been proposedto play a positive role in shellfishdetoxificati<strong>on</strong>. Food availability formussels in a raft is affected by thetheir relative positi<strong>on</strong>, both in depth,because the algal populati<strong>on</strong> variesin the water column, and related tothe water stream, because musselsdownstream receive water whichhas been previously filtered byupstream individuals.Our objective was to investigate ifthere is a relati<strong>on</strong>ship between DSPdetoxificati<strong>on</strong> and the relativeallocati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the raft. Our resultssuggest that upstream mussels loseDSP toxicity faster. Moreover, westudied the relati<strong>on</strong>ship betweenfaecal c<strong>on</strong>taminati<strong>on</strong>, coliforms andEscherichia coli, and DSPaccumulati<strong>on</strong>.PO.13-87On the genus Alexandrium(Dinoflagellata) in Vietnamesewaters: - two new records of A.satoanum and A. tamutumSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.13 - Regi<strong>on</strong>al eventsNguyen N.

Centre <strong>on</strong> <strong>Harmful</strong><strong>Algae</strong>, COPENHAGEN, DenmarkBased <strong>on</strong> observati<strong>on</strong>s of cellmorphology and thecal platepattern, two dinoflagellate species,Alexandrium satoanum Yuki &Fukuyo 1992 and A. tamutumM<strong>on</strong>tresor, Beran and John 2004are reported here for the first timefrom Vietnamese waters.Alexandrium satoanum bel<strong>on</strong>gs tothe subgenus Gessnerium and ischaracterized as follows: cells widerthan l<strong>on</strong>g, ca. 40 µm wide and ca.32 µm l<strong>on</strong>g, 1’ plate not c<strong>on</strong>nectedto the APC and without a ventralpore. Alexandrium tamutum bel<strong>on</strong>gsto the subgenus Alexandrium and ischaracterized as follows:isodiametric cells, 25-30 µm, 1’c<strong>on</strong>nected to the APC and with aventral pore, 6' as wide as l<strong>on</strong>g, andsp. plate wider than l<strong>on</strong>g, cystmorphology unknown. With theserecords, 17 species of Alexandriumhave now been reported fromVietnamese waters.PO.08-03DNA damage and apoptosis inCHO-K1 cells following treatmentwith cylindrospermopsinSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.08 - ToxicologyA Lankoff 1 , WW Carmichael 2 , JBialczyk 3 , H Lisowska 41 Swietokrzyska Academy, Institute of Biol,KIELCE, Poland2 Wright State University, DAYTON, UnitedStates of America3 Jagiell<strong>on</strong>ian University, KRAKOW, Poland4 Institute of Nuclear Chemistry,WARSZAWA, PolandThe aim of our study was toexamine the impact ofcylindrospermopsin <strong>on</strong> DNAdamage in CHO-K1 cells.
