Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Real-Time PCR Assays for Rapid Detection of Pfiesteria piscicida and Related Dinoflagellates
Holly A. Bowers,Torstein Tengs,Howard B. Glasgow,JoAnn M. Burkholder,Parke A. Rublee,David W. Oldach +5 more
TL;DR: A real-time PCR-based assay is developed that permits rapid and specific identification of Pfiesteria complex species in culture and heterogeneous environmental water samples and will be useful for many other applications, including adaptation for field-based technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Karlodinium veneficum—The little dinoflagellate with a big bite
Allen R. Place,Holly A. Bowers,Tsetvan R. Bachvaroff,Jason E. Adolf,Jonathan R. Deeds,Jian Sheng +5 more
TL;DR: The biological raison d’etre for karlotoxin production appears to be prey capture but grazing deterrence is an additional advantage and strain variation in types of karotoxins and toxin cell quotas is extensive.
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
Phytoplankton and bacterial assemblages in ballast water of U.S. military ships as a function of port of origin, voyage time, and ocean exchange practices
JoAnn M. Burkholder,Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff,Gregory Melia,Andrew Cohen,Holly A. Bowers,David W. Oldach,Matthew W. Parrow,Michael J. Sullivan,Paul V. Zimba,Elle H. Allen,Carol A. Kinder,Michael A. Mallin +11 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that in general, U.S. Department of Defense ships are well managed to minimize the risk for introduction of harmful microbiota, and further treatment technologies and/or alternative management strategies will be necessary to enable DoD vessels to comply with proposed standards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seven Gene Phylogeny of Heterokonts
Ingvild Riisberg,Russell J. S. Orr,Ragnhild Kluge,Ragnhild Kluge,Kamran Shalchian-Tabrizi,Holly A. Bowers,Vishwanath Patil,Vishwanath Patil,Bente Edvardsen,Kjetill S. Jakobsen +9 more
TL;DR: Based on all trees, in combination with current knowledge about ultrastructure of heterokonts, it is suggested that a more advanced flagellar apparatus originated at one occasion in the ancestor of Phaeista whereas, Khakista independently reduced their flageLLar apparatus and gained chlorophyll c(3).
