Detection of Toxigenicity by a Probe for the Microcystin Synthetase A Gene (mcyA) of the Cyanobacterial Genus Microcystis: Comparison of Toxicities with 16S rRNA and Phycocyanin Operon (Phycocyanin Intergenic Spacer) Phylogenies

The relationship between toxigenicity and phylogeny within the cyanobacterial genus Microcystis is unclear. To investigate this issue, we have designed PCR primers for the N-methyltransferase (NMT) domain of the microcystin synthetase gene mcyA and have probed 37 Microcystis sp. cultures as well as...
