Abstract excerpt
In order to address the relationships among diatom groups and to investigate possible changes in their mitochondrial (mt) genetic codes, we have analyzed a 1.1-kb region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (coxI) gene from eight diverse diatom species. A phylogenetic analysis of these coxI sequences including representative species of the Phaeophyta, Xanthophyta, Eustigmatophyta and Haptophyta showed that the...
