Journal ArticleDOI
Heteroduplex mobility assay-guided sequence discovery: Elucidation of the small subunit (18S) rDNA sequences of Pfiesteria piscicida and related dinoflagellates from complex algal culture and environmental sample DNA pools
David W. Oldach,Charles F. Delwiche,Kjetill S. Jakobsen,Torstein Tengs,Ernest G. Brown,Jason W. Kempton,Eric F. Schaefer,Holly A. Bowers,Howard B. Glasgow,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Karen A. Steidinger,Parke A. Rublee +11 more
TL;DR: A sequencing strategy directed by heteroduplex mobility assay-directed sequence discovery is broadly applicable, and may be adapted for the detection of genomic sequence data of other novel or nonculturable organisms in complex assemblages.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR and FISH Detection Extends the Range of Pfiesteria piscicida in Estuarine Waters
Parke A. Rublee,Jason W. Kempton,Eric F. Schaefer,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Howard B. Glasgow,David Oldach +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that P. piscicida is a common, and normally benign, inhabitant of estuarine waters of the eastern coast of the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of molecular probes to assess geographic distribution of Pfiesteria species
Parke A. Rublee,Jason W. Kempton,Eric F. Schaefer,Coy Allen,Janera Harris,David W. Oldach,Holly A. Bowers,Torstein Tengs,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Howard B. Glasgow +9 more
TL;DR: Pfiesteria spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of the Dinozoans Pfiesteria piscicida and P. shumwayae: A Review of Detection Methods and Geographic Distribution
TL;DR: Molecular methods developed for use in identifying and studying the distribution of the toxic dinoflagellates Pfiesteria piscicida and P. shumwayae serve as a model for study of other microbial taxa and provides a basis for future development of tools that can simultaneously detect multiple targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Pfiesteria spp. by PCR in surface sediments collected from Chesapeake Bay tributaries (Maryland)
Holly A. Bowers,T. Mark Trice,Robert E. Magnien,David M. Goshorn,Bruce Michael,Eric F. Schaefer,Parke A. Rublee,David W. Oldach +7 more
TL;DR: A 3-year study using real-time PCR assays for analysis of surface sediment samples collected from several Chesapeake Bay tributaries suggests a strong positive association between presence of Pfiesteria spp.
