^a The specific growth rate is calculated according to the formula shown below; $\mathsf{\mu }=\frac{\ln N_1-\ln N_0}{t_1-t_0}$ where N₀ and N₁ are the cell density reading at time t₀ and t₁; ^b The toxin level was determined at stationary phase; ^c The data were estimated from data in the corresponding publication; ^d NO₃, nitrate; NH_4, ammonium; PO₄, phosphate; Gly PO₄, glycerophospahte; ATP, adenosine triphosphate; OA, okadaic acid; DTX-1, dinophysistoxin-1.
