Phenotypic and Genotypic Methods for the Identification and Quantification of Cyanobacteria in Lake Water.

Abstract excerpt

Early monitoring of Microcystis, a cyanobacterium that produces microcystin, is paramount in order to confirm the presence of Microcystis spp. Both phenotypic and genotypic methods have been used. The phenotypic methods provide the presence of the microcystis but do not confirm its species type and toxin produced. Additionally, phenotypic methods cannot differentiate toxigenic from non-toxigenic Microcystis....
