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 2006a triple quadrupole mass detector(API 4000), in the mode ofprecursor i<strong>on</strong> scan and product i<strong>on</strong>scan. Two isomers of trideoxyTTX,two isomers of TTX, two isomers of11-oxoTTX, anhydroTTX and traceamounts of deoxyTTX wereidentified from the toxic snailsamples. Analytical methods usingselect i<strong>on</strong> m<strong>on</strong>itoring and selectreacti<strong>on</strong> m<strong>on</strong>itoring targeted <strong>on</strong>these compounds were thendeveloped.PO.11-11Roles of macroalgae for HABmitigati<strong>on</strong>Sessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.11 - AllelopathySD Zhang, Y Wang, XX S<strong>on</strong>g, ZM YuInstitute of Oceanology, CAS, QINGDAO,SHANDONG PROVINCE, ChinaThe effects of two macroalgalspecies, Ulva pertusa and Gracilarialemaneiformis, <strong>on</strong> the growth ofmicroalgae in co-cultured systemswere studied. Both species,especially their fresh tissues,significantly impeded the growth ofHeterosigma akashiwo, P.d<strong>on</strong>ghaiense and A. tamarense.Ulva pertusa affected the growth ofmicroalgae more than did G.lemaneiformis. A positive correlati<strong>on</strong>between the initial macroalgalbiomass and their effects <strong>on</strong>microalgae during co-culturing wasobserved. Nutrient assays showedthat when microalgal cells weredead, nitrate and phosphate werealmost exhausted in the G.lemaneiformis co-culture, butremained at enough levels in the U.pertusa co-culture to allow forfurther growth of the microalgae.Therefore, allelopathy was theessential factor for the inhibiti<strong>on</strong> ofU. pertusa <strong>on</strong> the microalgae, whilethe combined roles of allelopathyand allelospoly may be resp<strong>on</strong>siblefor that of G. lemaneiformis. In a coculturedsystem of G. lemaneiformiswith Scrippsiella trochoidea thesimultaneous nutrients assay alsorevealed that allelospoly might bethe main reas<strong>on</strong> for inhibiti<strong>on</strong> of S.trochoidea under the lower initialratio of G. lemaneiformis to S.trochoidea. However, bothallelopathy and allelospoly could beresp<strong>on</strong>sible for the inhibiti<strong>on</strong> of S.trochoidea at higher initial biomassratio.PO.09-03Sulfotransferase activity in PSPproducingAlexandrium speciesSessi<strong>on</strong>: PO.09 - Toxin synthesis andchemical structure of toxinsShugang Zhang 1 , Leo Lai Chan 2 , Hua-Sheng H<strong>on</strong>g 1 , Da-Zhi Wang 11 Xiamen Univeristy, XIAMEN, China2 H<strong>on</strong>g K<strong>on</strong>g University, HONG KONG,ChinaSulfotransferase (ST) is animportant modified enzyme relatedto toxin c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> in PSPproducingdinoflagellates. Thisstudy investigated ST activity in thecrude extracts of eight Alexandriumstrains with various toxincompositi<strong>on</strong>s. The toxinbiosynthesis pathway inAlexandrium was also examined.ST activity was <strong>on</strong>ly detected in thecrude extract of Alexandriumtamarense CI01 (ATCI01), whichwas able to c<strong>on</strong>vert GTX2/3 toC1/C2, while it was not found inother PST-producing Alexandriumstrains, even the strains with similartoxin compositi<strong>on</strong> as ATCI01.Moreover, ST activity was notdetected in the n<strong>on</strong>-toxic A.tamarense CCMP2023. Theseresults indicated that ST is aspecies/strain-specific enzyme andthat different toxin biosynthesis311
