Abstract:Through the use of molecular techniques, several different types of fusiform and twisted‐fusiform microchlorophyte algae (Monoraphidium, Ankistrodesmus, etc.) have been characterized from samples taken from lakes and ponds of Itasca State Park, MN. PCR–RFLP analysis of 18S ribosomal RNA genes was used to categorize 29 different isolates from the Itasca State Park lakes into nine different types. The 18S ribosomal DNA sequences were determined for one isolate from each type for phylogenetic analysis. Light micr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
