Molecular characterization of the toxic cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and design of a species-specific PCR
Article Abstract:
PCR analysis shows that both morphotypes of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, straight or coiled trichomes, belong to the same species. PCR was used to amplify a 609-bp region of rpoC1, a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene.

Varied diazotrophies, morphologies, and toxicities of genetically similar isolates of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Nostocales, Cyanophyceae) from Northern Australia
Article Abstract:
The use of different nitrogen sources can change the morphology of the cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. This could make it difficult to identify the bacterium, since morphological differences are used taxonomically. Analysis of the HIP1 octameric-palindrome repeated sequence may be a better choice.
