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
