Molecular phylogeny of a thycoplanktonic naviculoid diatom, Haslea howeana, from the black sea: A new record for the Turkish algal flora
Özet
The aim of this study was to identify diatoms from the Southern Black Sea. Water samples were collected using a plankton net with 22 ?m pores. Diatom cells were investigated under a light microscope and were then isolated for the single-cell PCR procedure. Phylogenetic inference showed that the isolates collected from the study area were affiliated with a naviculoid diatom Haslea howeana. We have reported the first molecular data concerning these species from the Black Sea and have contributed a new species record for the Turkish Algal Flora. © Published by Central Fisheries Research Institute (CFRI) Trabzon, Turkey.
