Prymnesium is a genus of haptophytes, including the species Prymnesium parvum. The genus is a unicellular motile alga. It is ellipsoidal in shape one flagellum is straight and there are two longer ones which enable movement.
Prymnesin-1 is a chemical with the molecular formula C107H154Cl3NO44. It is a member of the prymnesins, a class of hemolytic phycotoxins made by the alga Prymnesium parvum. It is known to be toxic to fish, causing mass fish deaths around the world,...
Prymnesium parvum is a species of haptophyte (also collectively called Prymnesiophyta). The species is of concern because of its ability to produce the phycotoxin prymnesin. It is a flagellated alga that is normally found suspended in the water...
The haptophytes, classified either as the Haptophytina, Haptophyta or Prymnesiophyta (named for Prymnesium), are a clade of algae that can produce minerals. The names Haptophyceae or Prymnesiophyceae are sometimes used instead. This ending implies...
Prymnesin-B1 is a chemical with the molecular formula C91H132ClNO34. It is a member of the prymnesins, a class of ladder-frame polyether phycotoxins made by the alga Prymnesium parvum. It is known to be toxic to fish.
A protist ( PROH-tist) or protoctist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, land plant, or fungus. Protists do not form a natural group, or clade, but are a paraphyletic group encompassing the entire eukaryote tree of life, from which...
Prymnesin-2 is an organic compound that is secreted by the haptophyte Prymnesium parvum. It belongs to the prymnesin family and has potent hemolytic and ichthyotoxic properties. In a purified form it appears as a pale yellow solid.
Numerous non-native plants have been introduced to Maryland in the United States and many of them have become invasive species. The following is a list of some non-native invasive plant species established in Maryland.
Sialic acids are a class of alpha-keto acid sugars with a nine-carbon backbone. The term "sialic acid" (from Greek σίαλον (síalon) 'saliva') was first introduced by Swedish biochemist Gunnar Blix in 1952. The most common member of this group is...
A mixoplankton is a mixotrophic plankton, capable of both photosynthesis and predation. It is a unicellular plankton that can use a mix of different sources of energy and carbon, instead of having a single trophic mode on the continuum from complete...
