A heavy algal bloom occurring in a fishing pond in northern Italy full of Salmo trutta was examined for algae taxonomy and toxic production. The dominant algal species (98%) was identified as the cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens (D.C. ex GOMONT) Komarek Anagnostidis, based on morphological examination, and it was revealed to be toxic in mouse and Vibrio fischeri bioassays. The toxin was identified as anatoxin-a using high-performance liquid chromatography and confirmed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The mouse bioassay gave signs of poisoning, as previously reported for anatoxin-a. The LC-MS confirmed the presence of an anatoxin-a peak at m/z 166 (M+H+). The content of toxin in the field population was estimated at 12.13 mug/g of fresh cells. The bloom was sustained by the very high N/P ratio in the water. This is the first report in Italy of an anatoxin-a-producing Planktothrix rubescens population. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
