Monitoring changing toxigenicity of a cyanobacterial bloom by molecular methods.

abstract：:Two methods were used to evaluate bacterial recovery from beef, pork, and lamb adipose tissue. Higher counts were obtained with a tissue removal and fluid agitation technique (shaking) than with surface swabbing, but only when bacterial levels were low. Bacterial recovery by both methods was unaffected by specie origi...
