Abstract

Seven cyanobacteria strains (Anabaena macrospora NIERl0016, Oscillatoria sp. NIER10042, Microcystis aeruginosa NIER10015, M. ichtyoblabe BIER10025, BIER10040, M. novacekii NIER10029, M. wesenbergii NIER10068) were tested with four rRNA - targeted oligonucleotide probes labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and specific for cyanobacteria. Non- fluorescent detection of hybridization signal was used. The hybridization with artificial mixture of cyanobacteria have shown the possibility to use 2 species-specific probes in duplicate hybridization and detection with different colored substrates.
