Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of Karlodinium micrum (Dinophyceae) associated with a fish kill in a South Carolina brackish retention pond
Jason W. Kempton,Alan J. Lewitus,Alan J. Lewitus,Jonathan R. Deeds,J.McHugh Law,Allen R. Place +5 more
TL;DR: Results implicate toxic K. micrum as a causative factor in fish death in a non-aquaculture brackish pond associated with a housing development, and extend recent findings linking this species to fish kills in aquaculture ponds.
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
Potential indicators of stress response identified by expressed sequence tag analysis of hemocytes and embryos from the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica.
Matthew J. Jenny,Amy H. Ringwood,Eric R. Lacy,Alan J. Lewitus,Jason W. Kempton,Paul S. Gross,Gregory W. Warr,Robert W. Chapman +7 more
TL;DR: Diversity analysis shows that 363 and 286 unique genes were identified from the hemocyte and embryo libraries, respectively, indicating that full-scale EST collection is a valuable approach for the discovery of new genes of potential significance in the molluscan stress response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raphidophyceae [chadefaud ex silva] systematics and rapid identification: sequence analyses and real-time pcr assays
Holly A. Bowers,Carmelo R. Tomas,Torstein Tengs,Jason W. Kempton,Alan J. Lewitus,Alan J. Lewitus,David W. Oldach +6 more
TL;DR: The development and validation of a suite of real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for species associated with fish kill events in Japanese, European, Canadian, and U.S. coastal waters and phylogenetic analyses to determine the relationship between these species were performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmful algal blooms in South Carolina residential and golf course ponds
Alan J. Lewitus,Laura B. Schmidt,Larissa J. Mason,Jason W. Kempton,Susan B. Wilde,Jennifer L. Wolny,B. Jamie Williams,Kenneth C. Hayes,Sabrina N. Hymel,Charles J. Keppler,Amy H. Ringwood +10 more
TL;DR: The South Carolina coastal zone is among the fastest growing areas in the U.S., and population epicenters are marked by dense brackish water pond (lagoon) coverage associated with housing complexes and golf courses as discussed by the authors.
