Advancing the Taxonomy of the Diatom Pseudo-nitzschia Through an Integrative Study Conducted in the Central and Southeastern Adriatic Sea
The marine diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia comprises cosmopolitan phytoplankton species commonly present in the Adriatic Sea.Species within the genus Pseudo-nitzschia have been of significant concern because they produce domoic acid (DA), which can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).In this study, we identified Pseudo-nitzschia species along the
