Caulerpa toxins

September 30, 2002
From: Madhavi Agrawal

Hi ,
im a postgraduate student from the james cook univesity , Queensland , Australia

i am currently writing a literture review on the chemistry and chemical ecology of Caulerpales . concurrently , i am also looking at the levels of caulerpenyne and caulerpin in the australian species of caulerpa . i have been reading the book " killer algae " and it mentions on page 185, that studies have been carried out by several teams to see the affect of Caulerpa toxins on marine bacteria , and a dozen of other microorganisms . In addition , studies have been done on the break down products of the toxins. If anybody , has the references to articles dealing with these topics or anything to do with ecological effects of these toxins , could you please post them up on this website
Thankyou and best regards

Dear Madhavi,
This is really outside the 'footprint' of the Sea Slug Forum, but there is a possibility that sacoglossan workers could have some information. If you have a look at earlier messages on this page, I have suggested a couple of relevant websites.
Best wishes,
