Caulerpa toxins

September 30, 2002
From: Madhavi Agrawal

Hi ,
im a postgraduate student from the james cook univesity , Queensland , Australia

i am currently writing a literture review on the chemistry and chemical ecology of Caulerpales . concurrently , i am also looking at the levels of caulerpenyne and caulerpin in the australian species of caulerpa . i have been reading the book " killer algae " and it mentions on page 185, that studies have been carried out by several teams to see the affect of Caulerpa toxins on marine bacteria , and a dozen of other microorganisms . In addition , studies have been done on the break down products of the toxins. If anybody , has the references to articles dealing with these topics or anything to do with ecological effects of these toxins , could you please post them up on this website
Thankyou and best regards
Madhavi Agrawal

Dear Madhavi,
This is really outside the 'footprint' of the Sea Slug Forum, but there is a possibility that sacoglossan workers could have some information. If you have a look at earlier messages on this page, I have suggested a couple of relevant websites.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
