Molecular characterization of harmful algal species

TL;DRAbstract

The main purpose of the research activities carried out in this thesis was to give contributions to ecological studies on potentially harmful algal species (HAS) present in
\nSardinia’s aquatic environments through the application of biomolecular techniques. In Sardinia, as well as globally in the world, the reports of blooms caused by HAS
\n(Harmful Algal Blooms, HABs) have increased in recent decades, requiring specific studies and investigations.
\n<br>The identification of the species involved is particularly important. Microalgae species identification based on cell morphology with the traditional microscopic methods is not a simple task. A valid support is represented by the recently developed biomolecular tecniques which can help in resolving species identification and detection problems.</br>
\nIn this thesis, several cases of study were investigated, regarding different types of environments, algal classes, genera, species within a same class and,
