Abstract excerpt
In vast areas of the oceans, most marine photosynthetic production is performed by cells smaller than 2-3 microm (picoplankton). Here, we report on denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analyses of naturally occurring marine oxygenic picophytoplankton using the conserved photosynthetic psbA gene. The psbA gene proved to be a good indicator for picophytoplankton presence and was shown to work with DGGE....
