• The dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium(Halim) in New Zealand coastal waters: comparative morphology, toxicity and molecular genetics (2004, background): “ostenfeldii has been identified as the progenitor of toxic macrocyclic imines known as spirolides in Canadian (Cembella et al., 2000) and European (John et al.”
• Paralytic shellfish toxins or spirolides? The role of environmental and genetic factors in toxin production of the Alexandrium ostenfeldii complex (2013, background): “Of the spirolide analogs, 13dmC seems to dominate in NW Atlantic (coastal Canada and USA, but also Spain, France, England, Ireland, Denmark; Cembella et al., 2000; MacKinnon et al., 2004; Percy et al., 2004; Villar González et al., 2006; Amzil et al., 2007; Touzet et al., 2008; Van Wagoner et al., 2”
• Identification and enumeration of Alexandrium spp. from the Gulf of Maine using molecular probes (2005, background): “ostenfeldii co-occurred with A. fundyense in the GOM and needed to be enumerated separately, not only to provide accurate A. fundyense abundance, but because A. ostenfeldii can be toxic as well ( Cembella et al., 2000 ).”
• Monitoring and Management Strategies for Harmful Algal Blooms in Coastal Waters (2001, background): “4.1 Fish Mariculture Monitoring 87 4.1.1 Norway 87 4.1.2 Pacific Northwest (North America) 92 4.1.2.1 Background and causative species 92 4.1.2.2 Chaetoceros subgroup Phaeoceros 94 4.1.2.3 Heterosigma akashiwo 95 4.1.2.4 Ceratium fusus 97 4.1.2.5 British Columbia (Canada) 98 4.1.2.6 Washington State”
• The globally distributed genus Alexandrium: multifaceted roles in marine ecosystems and impacts on human health (2012, methodology): “The spirolide profiles of both isolates and field populations from the northwestern Atlantic are often heavily dominated by 13- desmethyl spirolide C (13-desmeC), but may also contain variants such as spirolide A, B, C or D-type (Cembella et al., 2000, 2001).”
• Discrimination of the toxigenic dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense and A. ostenfeldii in co-occurring natural populations from Scottish coastal waters (2003, methodology): “In general, field specimens of these species from the east coast of Scotland are consistent with the description of material from other North Atlantic areas, including the coast of Spain (Balech, 1995), Norway (Balech & Tangen, 1985), and Nova Scotia, Canada (Cembella et al., 2000).”
• The Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms on Aquatic Organisms (2002, background): “The bioorigin of spirolides has been determined to be Alexandrium ostenfeldii (Cembella et al., 2000; Hu et al., 2001).”
