Prymnesins are a class of phycotoxins made by the alga Prymnesium parvum. It is known to be toxic to fish, causing mass fish deaths around the world, including in Texas and England.
Structures
Prymnesins are formed of a large polyether polycyclic core with several conjugate double and triple bonds, chlorine and nitrogen heteroatoms and sugar moieties including L-xylose.[1] There are two forms of prymnesin known, differing in their glycosylation.
