摘要: Anthropogenic CO2 is progressively acidifying the ocean, but responses of harmful algal bloom species that produce toxins can bioaccumulate remain virtually unknown. The neurotoxin domoic acid produced by globally-distributed diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia. This toxin responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning, which result in illness or death humans and regularly causes mass mortalities marine mammals birds. Domoic production Pseudo-nitzschia cells known to be regulated nutrient availability, potential interactions with increasing seawater concentrations are poorly understood. Here we present experiments measuring acclimatized cultures fraudulenta demonstrate a strong synergism between projected future levels (765 ppm) silicate-limited growth, greatly increases cellular toxicity relative growth under modern atmospheric (360 pre-industrial (200 conditions. Cellular Si∶C ratios decrease CO2, trend opposite seen production. coastal California upwelling system where this was isolated currently exhibits rapidly anthropogenic acidification, as well widespread episodic silicate limitation growth. Our results suggest current ecosystem human health impacts toxic blooms could exacerbated ocean acidification ‘carbon fertilization’ ocean.
