Remark: 
Toxic strain. This isolate produces approximately 70 fmol cell-1 of saxitoxin congeners when growing in log phase and in nutrient-replete media (John et al. 2014). The toxin profile expressed in mole percent of each detected congener is: C1 (1.6%), C2 (55.3%), GTX1 (0.2%),GTX3 (1.1%), GTX4 (13.5%), GTX5 (19.9%), andNEO (8.3%) (D.M. Anderson unpublished). Consistent with these toxin data, the conserved gene sxtA4, which is critical to saxitoxin production, was successfully amplified and sequenced from this type isolate SPE10-03 (Accession number: KF985180) (John et al. 2014).
