Development and field assessment of a quantitative PCR for the detection and enumeration of the noxious bloom-former Anabaena planktonica
Rueckert, Andreas; Wood, Susanna A.; Cary, S. Craig (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2007)Anabaena planktonica is a harmful, bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterium, which has arrived recently in New Zealand. In the short time since its incursion (<10 yr), A. planktonica has spread rapidly throughout lakes in ... -
Hindcasting cyanobacterial communities in Lake Okaro with germination experiments and genetic analyses
Wood, Susanna A.; Jentzsch, Katrin; Rueckert, Andreas; Hamilton, David P.; Cary, S. Craig (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, 2009)Cyanobacterial blooms are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Sparse historic phytoplankton records often result in uncertainty as to whether bloom-forming species have always been present and are proliferating in ... -
A sensitive genetic-based detection capability for Didymosphenia geminate (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt: Phases two and three
Cary, S. Craig; Hicks, Brendan J.; Coyne, Kathryn J.; Rueckert, Andreas; Gemmill, Chrissen E.C.; Barnett, Catherine Margaret Eleanor (Centre for Biodiversity and Ecology Research, The University of Waikato, 2007-10)This study sought to develop a sensitive DNA-based protocol capable of detecting D. germinate in environmental samples with extreme sensitivity. This report is a direct extension from our previous interim report and addresses ... -
Survival of thermophilic spore-forming bacteria in a 90+ year old milk powder from Ernest Shackelton's Cape Royds Hut in Antarctica
Ronimus, Ron S.; Rueckert, Andreas; Morgan, Hugh W. (Cambridge University Press, 2000)Milk powder taken to Antarctica on Shackelton's British Antarctic Expedition in 1907 was produced in New Zealand by a roller drying process in the first factory in the world dedicated to this process. Thermophilic bacilli ... -
Switching toxin production on and off: intermittent microcystin synthesis in a Microcystis bloom
Wood, Susanna A.; Rueckert, Andreas; Hamilton, David P.; Cary, S. Craig; Dietrich, Daniel R. (Wiley InterScience, 2010)Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are increasing in prevalence. Microcystins are the most commonly produced cyanotoxin. Despite extensive research the variables regulating microcystin production remain unclear. Using a RT-QPCR ...
