Resumen
Las yessotoxinas (YTXs) son un grupo de ficotoxinas descrito recientemente, asociado a toxicidad en moluscos y a cardiotoxicidad en ratones de laboratorio. Hasta el momento se conocen tres especies de dinoflagelados productoras de YTXs a nivel mundial: Protoceratium reticulatum, Gonyaulax spinifera y Lingulodinium polyedra. En este estudio se analizó la presencia de YTXs y de sus potenciales productores en cuatro campañas oceanográficas realizadas en diferentes estaciones del año entre los 38 y 55ºS. La detección de toxinas se realizó mediante cromatografía líquida de alta eficiencia acoplada con espectrometría de masas en tándem. Los análisis morfológicos incluyeron observaciones mediante microscopía óptica y electrónica de barrido. Se encontraron dos potenciales productores de YTXs, Protoceratium reticulatum y Gonyaulax spinifera, presentando densidades máximas de 660 y 140 cél. L-1 respectivamente durante las campañas de otoño y primavera, en las cuales se detectó YTX en muestras del Golfo San Jorge y del talud. Los datos obtenidos sugieren que la especie P. reticulatum es la principal productora de YTXs en el Mar Argentino presentando cuotas celulares entre 2,2 y 12,5 pg YTX cél.-1, mientras que G. spinifera representa un productor potencial en la región que no ha mostrado una asociación clara con la detección de YTX.
Dinoflagellates producers of yessotoxins in the Argentine Sea. Yessotoxins (YTXs) consist of a recently described group of phycotoxins associated with shellfish toxicity and with cardiotoxicity in laboratory rodents. Until now there are only three dinoflagellate species considered as YTXs producers: Protoceratium reticulatum, Gonyaulax spinifera and Lingulodinium polyedra. In this study the presence of YTX and its potential producers in the Argentine Sea was analyzed by four oceanographic expeditions carried out between 38 and 55ºS and during different seasons. Toxin detection was performed by application of liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Morphological analysis included optical and scanning electron microscopy. Two YTXs potential producers were found: Protoceratium reticulatum and Gonyaulax spinifera, showing highest concentrations of 660 and 140 cell L-1 respectively, during autumn and spring. YTX were also detected during autumn and spring in samples from San Jorge Gulf and slope waters and were associated with the presence of P. reticulatum, showing toxin cell quotas of 2.2 and 12.5 pg YTX cell-1. The data obtained suggest that P. reticulatum is the main YTXs producer in the Argentine Sea, while G. spinifera represents a potential producer in the region which did not show a clear association with YTX detection.
