TOXICITY OF A UNIALGAL CULTURE OF MICROCYSTIS AERUGINOSA
Abstract
A unialgal culture of Microcystis aeruginosa Kütz. emend. Elenkin, which is toxic when injected intraperitoneally into white mice, has been isolated. It produces a complex of symptoms similar to those which have been described for a number of toxic waterblooms. Two distinct factors seem to be present. One causes death in 4 to 48 hours preceded by symptoms of piloerection and dyspnea. It is detected only with freshly harvested cells. The other causes death within 2 to 3 hours preceded by pallor and convulsions. This second factor is an endotoxin which is detected only when cells become leaky or disintegrate. The presence of the slow-death factor tends to be obscured by the release of the fast-death factor. The concentration of the fast-death factor in the cells varies with the developmental stage of a culture and at maximum can be just as high as that of a very toxic waterbloom.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
