A field-ready molecular workflow for sample-to-result detection of the harmful dinoflagellate species Prorocentrum cordatum in coastal waters

Andre Akira Gonzaga Yoshikawa, Beatriz Villefort Rocha, João Victor Costa Guesser, Sabrina Fernandes Cardoso, Iara Carolini Pinheiro, Carlos Yure Barbosa de Oliveira, Paulo Antunes Horta, Leonardo Rubi Rörig, Luísa D. P. Rona, André Nóbrega Pitaluga

This paper develops a molecular assay for detecting Prorocentrum cordatum in coastal waters using PCR and LAMP, showing PCR's higher sensitivity compared to LAMP for low cell densities.
