Toxic cyanobacteria in reservoirs in northeastern Brazil: detection using a molecular method.

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia - 1 Nov 2010

Bittencourt-Oliveira M C, Santos D M S, Moura N A

Abstract excerpt

Cyanobacterial blooms are a frequent occurrence in northeastern Brazil and constitute a serious public health problem. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, eleven environmental samples with cyanobacteria from seven reservoirs were used to determine the presence of the gene involved in microcystin biosynthesis (mcyB). Two sets of oligonucleotide primers were designed from the sequencing of Brazilian...
