| Abstract | Phytoflagellates of the genus Pseudochattonella (Dictyochophyceae, Ochrophyta) form blooms in marine coastal waters in northern Europe, Japan, and New Zealand that at times cause fish kills with severe losses for the aquaculture industry. The aim of this study was to develop molecular probes for the detection and identification of Pseudochattonella at the genus and species level. A variety of probes were developed and applied to either dot blot hybridization, (q)PCR, or microarray format. In the dot blot hybridization assay, five different oligonucleotide probes targeting the small subunit (SSU) rDNA were tested against DNA from 18 microalgal strains and shown to be specific to the genus Pseudochattonella. A genus-specific PCR assay was developed by identifying an appropriate primer pair in the SSU-internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) rDNA region. Its specificity was tested by screening against both target and non-target strains, and the assay was used to confirm the presence or absence of Pseudochattonella species in environmental samples. In order to distinguish between the two species of the genus, two PCR primer pairs each biased towards one of the species were designed in the large subunit (LSU) rDNA D1 domain and used for quantitative real-time PCR. Five selected probes (three SSU and two LSU rDNA) were adapted for the use on microarrays and included on a prototype multi-species microarray for the detection of harmful algae ( http://www.midtal.com ). Finally, microarrays and qPCR were used for the monthly monitoring of a sampling site in outer Oslofjorden during a 1-year period. Members of Pseudochattonella are difficult to identify by light microscopy in Lugol's preserved samples, and the two species Pseudochattonella verruculosa and Pseudochattonella farcimen can be morphologically distinguished only by transmission electron microscopy. The molecular probes designed in this study will be a valuable asset to microscopical detection methods in the monitoring of harmful algae and for biogeographical and ecological studies of this genus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
