Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genes Involved in Oxidative Stress Responses of Scallop to PST-Producing Algae and a Candidate Biomarker for PST Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Paralytic shellfish toxins (PST) could be accumulated in bivalves and cause safety problems. To protect public health, bivalves are examined for PST contamination before entering the market, usually by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or LC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the lab, which needs PST standards not all available and is time-consuming for large sample sizes. To detect PST toxicity in bivalves rapidly and sensitively, a biomarker gene is highly demanded, but the related study is very limited. In this study, we fed a commercially important bivalve, Patinopecten yessoensis, with the PST-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella. After 1, 3, and 5 days of exposure, both PST concentrations and toxicity levels in the digestive gland continuously
