Abstract
ABSTRACT
Although the cyanobacterium
Anabaena circinalis
occurs worldwide, Australian isolates are believed to exclusively possess the saxitoxin group neurotoxins (paralytic shellfish poisons). Identification of
A. circinalis
in a mixed population is complicated due to limited morphological differences between
Anabaena
species. Sequence analysis of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (
rpoC1
) gene from 24
Anabaena
isolates, including 12 designated
A. circinalis
, permitted a phylogenetic analysis to be performed. In addition, an
A. circinalis
-specific PCR was developed and tested successfully on environmental samples.
