摘要

Abstract

Some benthic

Prorocentrum

can produce okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxins (DTXs) that cause diarrheic shellfish poisoning (DSP) in humans. The diversity and toxin profiles (OA and DTXs) of benthic

Prorocentrum

were investigated in the Xisha Islands

South China Sea. The benthic

Prorocentrum

was identified by both morphological features and molecular phylogenies. Morphologies were examined by light

fluorescence

and scanning electron microscopy

and phylogenetic analyses were based on partial large subunit (LSU) rDNA and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) region. Seven

Prorocentrum

species including

P. borbonicum

P. caipirignum

P. concavum

P. elegans

. cf.

emarginatum

P. lima

complex

and

P. rhathymum

were identified in Xisha Islands. Among them

P. borbonicum

and

P. elegans

were recorded in Chinese waters for the first time. OA and DTXs contents of seven benthic

Prorocentrum

species were evaluated based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). All Xisha Islands strains of

P. lima

complex produced OA at contents ranging from 1 663 to 3 816 fg/cell.

P. caipirignum

also generated OA at 407 fg/cell

but other five species had no detectable toxins. Besides

interestingly

two strains of

P. lima

complex produced DTX-1 only (74 and 183 fg/cell) and another two strains generated an isomer of OA and DTX-2. Our findings provided insight into the biodiversity of benthic

Prorocentrum

in the Xisha Islands and pointed out the potential risk of DSP in this area.
