Abstract: The neurotoxin β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) has been presumed as an environmental cause of human neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Marine diatoms Thalassiosira minima are demonstrated here to produce BMAA-containing proteins in axenic culture while the… read more here.
