Abstract
The abundance of the anaC gene, which is involved in anatoxin biosynthesis, correlated with anatoxin concentration (rs = 0.80, p < 0.0001) in Atlantic Canadian benthic freshwater samples. Average total anatoxins (100 μg g−1 by high resolution mass spectrometry) and anaC (4.7 x 108 copies g−1 by droplet digital PCR) were highest in August, while highest average toxin quota (8.9 pg anaC−1) was observed in July. Pairing approaches provided insight into the seasonality of anatoxin biosynthesis.
