Abstract

Chattonella marina is an ichthyotoxic red-tide plankton and the toxic mechanism of which has not been identified. Recently we reported that C. marina has a toxic effect against Vibrio alginolyticus mediated by oxygen radicals. In this study, we found that the amount of hydrogen peroxide increased 10- to 15-fold after the disruption of plankton cells. A small amount of H₂O₂ was constantly detected in plankton culture under normal growth conditions.
