Abstract
Mitochondrial cytochrome b was isolated from the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida , and the utility of the gene for species identification was examined. One of the primer sets designed was shown to be highly specific for P. piscicida . A time step PCR protocol was used to demonstrate the potential of this primer set for quantification of this species.Keywords
