We #first provided evidence that a fraction of these toxins is released through extracellular vesicles (the vesicular fraction) — a mechanism that requires further investigation since it may play a key ecological role.

Extracellular vesicles from saxitoxin-producing strains of the cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii and investigation of their potential allelopathic effect
The cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii can exert allelopathic effects on other phytoplankton species, but the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs…

🔍Here we tested whether EVs contribute to the inhibitory effect caused by the Cyanobacteria exudate on algae, and proposed that extracellular saxitoxins released by these microorganisms challenge the conventional assumption that these toxins occur only in dissolved form in the surrounding medium.
