population structure of alexandrium (dinophyceae) cyst formation-promoting bacteria in hiroshima bay, japan. | a total of 31 bacterial isolates that have potential alexandrium cyst formation-promoting activity (alex-cfpb) were isolated from hiroshima bay (japan), which is characterized by seasonal blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate alexandrium tamarense. the population structure of alex-cfpb was analyzed by means of restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the 16s rrna genes (16s rdna). fourteen ribotypes, a to n, were observed among the 31 isolates of alex-cfpb by using four restriction enzy ... | 2003 | 14602614 |
