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 2006year, but maximum c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>sare detected in spring (early May)and autumn (November). PSPtoxicity was detected in shellfishafter winter and autumn blooms.Alexandrium minutum, also a PSPagent, was observed in spring andsummer. Dinophysis caudata, aDSP producer, bloomedoccasi<strong>on</strong>ally in spring, and thepotential ASP producer Pseud<strong>on</strong>itzschiaspp. increased to bloomproporti<strong>on</strong>s sometimes in winter. Ahigh correlati<strong>on</strong> between toxic andn<strong>on</strong>-toxic species has beenestablished (r>0, 7); Lauderia spp.and Thalassi<strong>on</strong>ema nitzschioideswith G. catenatum; Ceratium sp withDinophysis spp; Navicula andCeratium karstenii with Alexandriumspp; Coscinodiscus andLeptocylindrus minimus withPseudo-nitzschia spp.PO.05-16On the correlati<strong>on</strong> betweenMMPB and ELISA methods fortotal microcystin c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>sSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.05 - Toxin analysisH Takagi 1 , T Sano 2 , K Kaya 31 Nati<strong>on</strong>al Inst. for Envirometal studies,TSUKUBA, Japan2 Nati<strong>on</strong>al Inst. for Envir<strong>on</strong>metal Studies,TSUKUBA, Japan3 Tohoku University, SENDAI, JapanTotal microcystin c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s ofcultured cells and naturalwaterblooms were determined bythe methods of MMPB and ELISA.In the case of ELISA, the crossreactivityof the antibody andmicrocystin depended <strong>on</strong> the type ofmicrocystin present. The crossreactivityof microcystin-LR and RRwas almost the same, whereasthose of other variants were lowerthan that of microcystin-LR. Whentotal microcystin c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s ofnatural waterblooms weredetermined by the two methods, theresults obtained from the MMPBmethod were always higher thanthose from the ELISA method.However, in some samples theresults obtained from the ELISAmethod were higher than those fromthe MMPB method. These resultssuggest that some n<strong>on</strong>-microcystincompounds reacted with themicrocystin antibody, or theantibody was denatured bybiosurfactants in the fracti<strong>on</strong>s of thecell extracts.In the fracti<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> of naturalwaterblooms using HPLC, thecross-reactivity was found in n<strong>on</strong>microcystinfracti<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>s. If thefracti<strong>on</strong>s did not c<strong>on</strong>tain even atrace amount of microcystin, n<strong>on</strong>microcystincompounds ought tohave reacted with the antibody.
