Toxins were isolated from the freshwater blue-green alga Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. The toxic fractions were characterized by paper and thin-layer chromatography, isolation characteristics, infrared spectra, physiological activity, and reactivity with specific color reagents. The toxic fractions appear to be similar, if not identical, to saxitoxin (paralytic shellfish toxin), which is produced by the marine dinoflagellate Gonyaulax catenella.
毒素是从淡水蓝绿藻水华束丝藻中分离出来的。通过纸色谱法、薄层色谱法、分离特性、红外光谱、生理活性以及与特定显色试剂的反应对有毒馏分进行了表征。这些有毒馏分似乎与由海洋甲藻链状亚历山大藻产生的石房蛤毒素（麻痹性贝类毒素）相似，即便不是完全相同。
