A workshop with the aim to compare classical and molecular techniques for phytoplankton
enumeration took place at Kristineberg Marine Research Station, Sweden, in August 2005 …

In a previous study large‐subunit ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rDNA) sequences from the
marine dinoflagellates Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech, A. catenella (Whedon et …

A PCR (polymerase chain reaction)‐based assay for the detection of Alexandrium species in
cultured samples using rDNA‐targeted probes was developed. The internal transcribed …

In Japan, the bloom seasons of two toxic species, namely, Alexandrium catenella (Whedon
et Kof.) Balech and Alexandrium tamiyavanichii Balech, sometimes overlap with those of …

N. Touzet and R. Raine. 2007. Discrimination of Alexandrium andersoni and A. minutum
(Dinophyceae) using LSU rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes and fluorescent whole-cell …

The co‐occurrence of morphologically identical toxic and nontoxic ribotypes of the biotoxin
producing marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense presents a significant problem for …

Molecular methods provide promising tools for routine detection and quantification of toxic
microalgae in plankton samples. To this end, novel TaqMan minor groove binding probes …

PCR primers targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)‐5.8 S rDNA regions specific for
the genus Alexandrium were used to develop an ELISA assay method to detect and …

Alexandrium minutum (Halim) Balech cells from natural seawater samples of NW Spain
shores were counted using an immunofluorescent procedure and flow cytometry and …

In this study, the Kaneka DNA chromatography chip (KDCC) for the Alexandrium species
was successfully developed for simultaneous detection of five Alexandrium species. This …
