Toxins and Toxicity from the Cosmopolitan, Bloom-Forming Dinoflagellate Karlodinium micrum
… toxins in this species for the first time. Named karlotoxins (KmTx), these compounds possess hemolytic, cytotoxic, and anti-fungal properties. However, the primary harmful effect associated with blooms of this organism is ichthyotoxicity. Karlotoxins are lethal to fish through damage to gill …

Stochastic modeling of Karlotoxin's influence on prey
… algae blooms by releasing a compound called Karlotoxin. This toxin is known to affect their prey's bio-locomotion by stunning them and slowing them down. In this dissertation, we investigate whether the toxin plays a crucial role in aggregating the prey around the predators. The effect of …
