Our Ph.D. students, Mia Pejković and Tina Pavelin, were hosted from 7th to 18th February 2022 in Laboratory of Marine Ecology, Campus Enrico Mattei Urbino by project consultant prof.ssa Antonella Penna. During their stay, they performed molecular analysis on Pseudo-nitzschia spp. cultured strains. The methods used were DNA isolation, quantification, PCR amplification, DNA electrophoresis, and sequence alignment. Also, the Ph.D. students learned more about protocols for culturing phytoplankton species, cell isolation from seawater samples and cell enumeration by light microscopy.
