Abstract excerpt
The relative genetic diversity of microcystin-producing Microcystis in the water and sediment of the Daechung Reservoir, Korea, was investigated over an entire year, including the cyanobacterial bloom season. The cells of potentially toxic Microcystis strains containing mcyJ genotypes and cells containing the genus-specific cpcBA gene were quantified by a real-time PCR. The ratio of cells with mcyJ genotypes to...
