Abstract

In brown, red and green algae collected in typical habitats in the Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea, the content of a group of toxic metabolites characteristic of microscopic fungi of the genera Fusarium, Alternaria, Penicillium, Aspergillus, etc. was determined using enzyme immunoassay. All 16 analyzed mycotoxins were found in brown algae of the family Fucaceae and in Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus, and Chordaria flagelliformis contained 10 mycotoxins, while Chorda filum, Laminaria digitata, and Saccharina latissima contained only ergot alkaloids and sterigmatocystin in background concentrations. Among red algae, mycotoxins were not detected only in Coccotylus truncatus; in other species, the number of mycotoxins components decreased from 6 to 1 in the order: Odonthalia dentata> Palmaria palmata = Devaleraea ramentacea> Phycodrys rubens = Ahnfeltia plicata> Porphyra spp. In green algae Ulva spp., alternariol, cyclopiazonic acid, and ergot alkaloids were detected, and zearalenone and traces of ergot alkaloids were detected in Cladophora rupestris.
