  • Publication number: 20120053344
    Abstract: Methods for producing phycotoxins from natural sources, wherein the phycotoxins have a definite compositional profile are described herein. In one embodiment, the phycotoxins are produced by cyanobacteria. In one embodiment, the phycotoxins are produced by continuously culturing cyanobacteria under strictly controlled conditions in order to produce a definite compositional profile. In another embodiment, organic nutrients are added to the culture that allows for higher concentrations of neosaxitoxin and saxitoxin or gonyaulatoxins 2 and 3 per weight of the algae. The phycotoxins are isolated primarily from the bacteria but can also be isolated from the culture medium. In one embodiment, the cyanobacteria produce only neosaxitoxin and saxitoxin in a ratio of about 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, or 3:1. In a preferred embodiment, the amount of saxitoxin is less than 20% by weight of the total amount of neosaxitoxin and saxitoxin produced. In another embodiment, the cyanobacteria produce only GTX2 and GTX 3.
