Diversity of microcystin-producing genotypes in Brazilian strains of Microcystis (Cyanobacteria).

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia - 1 Feb 2011

Bittencourt-Oliveira M C, Oliveira M C, Pinto E

Abstract excerpt

Microcystis Kützing ex Lemmermann is among the genera of cyanobacteria often associated to toxic blooms with the release of microcystins. A gene cluster codes for microcystin synthetases, which are involved in the biosynthesis of this toxin. The aim of the present study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the mcyB gene, specifically the B1 module, in Brazilian strains of Microcystis spp. and its...
