Abstract
Myxotoxins can contaminate algal-based products and arrive to the food chain to consumers producing chronic toxicity effects. Here, we studied phytotoxicity of mycotoxins, beauvericin (BEA) and ennaitin B (ENN B) in four phytoplankton strains: Acutodesmus sp., Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Haematococcus pluvialis, and Monoraphidium griffithii, which are all green algae. It was tested the capacity of clearing the media of BEA and ENN B at different concentrations by comparing nominal and measured quantifications. Results revealed that Acutodesmus sp. and C. reinhardtii tended to flow up and down growth rate without reaching values below 50% or 60%, respectively. On the other hand, for H. pluvialis and M. griffith, IC50 values were reached. Regarding the clearance of media, in individual treatment a decrease of the quantified mycotoxin between nominal and measured values was observed; while in binary treatment, differences among both values were higher and more noted for BEA than for ENN B.
