Popis: Natural blooms of the blue-green alga Aphanizomenon flos-aquae occur periodically in the lakes of the northern United States and in certain provinces of Canada. These blooms have been reported to cause poisoning in fish and cattle. Investigation of the toxins of A. flos-aquae indicates that this alga contains three toxins in addition to saxitoxin. The aphantoxins appear to have a chemical structure similar to saxitoxin.
