Abstract excerpt
We have developed a technique for determining the genetic structure of populations of filamentous cyanobacteria. The sequence diversity at specific gene loci is first characterised in a range of clonal cultures; subsequent analysis involves individual trichomes collected directly from natural populations. This technique has been used to examine the population genetic structure of Nodularia in the Baltic Sea and...
