Researchers are enhancing monitoring efforts that ID Pseudo-nitzschia

Scanning electron microscope and light microscope images of P. australis during the 2016 bloom in Maine.Researchers are trying to enhance existing monitoring efforts that ID the domoic acid-forming species of Pseudo-nitzschia. Differentiating toxic from non-toxic species requires additional testing, and this project will simplify and streamline the process. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/employing-a-novel-molecular-toolbox-for-rapid-sensitive-detection-of-toxic-pseudo-nitzschia-species/
