Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We determined if the intra-specific genetic diversity of Microcystis aeruginosa correlates with phenotypic characteristics. METHODS AND RESULTS: Microcystis aeruginosa isolates from various Japanese waters were characterized using genetic analyses based on the 16S-23S rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and DNA-independent RNA polymerase (rpoC1) gene sequences. In addition, morphological and...
