Origin of Amoebophrya strains and single infected dinoflagellate cells We based our analyses either on Amoebophrya strains or directly on infected host cells isolated by micromanipulation from environmental samples (hereafter called single-cells). Strains and single-cells were isolated during monitoring for the toxic dinoflagellate species Alexandrium minutum. Monitoring was performed over five years (2007, 2009, 2010–2012) […] More

Phylogenetic relationship of Alviniconcha marisindica holobionts in the Kairei and the Edmond fields We cloned and sequenced partial mitochondrial cytochrome c reductase (mtCOI) genes from individuals of both A. marisindica populations. The sequence of the mtCOI gene of kAlv showed 99.4% sequence identity with that of eAlv, indicating that both populations of A. marisindica taxonomically […] More
