Abstract excerpt
Microcystis aeruginosa is one of the most prevalent bloom-forming cyanobacteria and has been the cause of increasing public health concern due to the production of hepatotoxins (microcystins). To investigate the genetic diversity, clonality and evolutionary genetic background with regard to the toxicity of M. aeruginosa, a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was developed, based on seven selected...
