Alexandrium minutum is a small, armored marine dinoflagellate known for producing saxitoxins responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning. It inhabits coastal and estuarine waters in temperate to warm oceanic regions worldwide. This photosynthetic protist can form harmful algal blooms that cause toxin accumulation in filter-feeding bivalve shellfish.
