The increasing incidence of mixed assemblages of toxic and nontoxic cyanobacterial blooms in Quebec's freshwater bodies over the last decade, coupled with inherent inadequacies of current monitoring approaches, warrants development of sensitive and reliable tools for assessing the toxigenic potential of these water blooms. In this study, we applied three independent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays that...
