Molecular-Assisted Alpha Taxonomy Genetic Testing Reveals Species of Red Algae

(PRWEB) November 19, 2014 Phycologia—The use of molecular-assisted alpha taxonomy (MAAT) has helped to distinguish species of the Bossiella genus of red algae. Whereas a morphological study showed four Bossiella species in the eastern Pacific Ocean, this genetic screening revealed 17 species groups. With genetic data and further morphological study, these groups could be identified, […]
