摘要
Paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) production and cell proliferation in the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense were investigated under the influence of two metabolic inhibitors (mitomycin C and colchicine) that have different mechanisms of action. Intracellular PST levels in cells treated with 2 mu M mitomycin C increased gradually, reaching a maximum of 176 fmol/cell (a 6-fold increase). High concentrations of colchicine prolonged G(1) phase in A. tamarense cells, even though colchicine arrests several other eukaryotic cell types in M phase. The cells in prolonged G(1) phase under the influence of colchicine were apparently unable to produce PST. Cell proliferation and toxin production recovered after removal of colchicine; in contrast, the effect of mitomycin C was irreversible. While the timing of toxin production within the cell cycle was not conclusively determined, A. tamarense cells in S phase were able to produce PST. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
