Unique substances of the hemagglutinating activity were separated from unialgal cultures of the toxic phytoflagellates, Chattonella marina and Gymnodinium sp. Molecular masses of the substances were estimated to be 14 000 in Chattonella and 15 000 in Gymnodinium. These two substances contained phosp...
