Title
Red Tide Secrets Unraveled.
Abstract
The article discusses a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that suggests the red tide toxin that has poisoned use of public beaches and shellfish harvests was created by algae. An MIT team successfully synthesized the red tide toxin, also known as an algal bloom, which may be created by dinoflagellates. Chemist Koji Nakanishi suggested that dinoflagellates could use a cascade to produce brevetoxin, a component of red tide.
