Abstract excerpt
PCR primers were designed and used to amplify glnA, the gene that encodes glutamine synthetase, from pure cultures of cyanobacteria and four samples from different marine environments. The glnA phylogeny was similar to that of the 16S rRNA gene, indicating that glnA gene sequences can be used to identify cyanobacteria expressing the glnA gene. Diverse unicellular cyanobacteria glnA genes were recovered from the...
