Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are abundant primary producers in the nitrogen-poor waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea. Expression of the nitrogen regulatory gene ntcA is a useful indicator for determining the N-status of cyanobacteria, and preliminary work with this gene suggests that it may also serve as a useful biodiversity marker. Here we investigated the genotypic diversity of...
