Abstract excerpt
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA from the European scallops Aequipecten opercularis, Mimachlamys varia, Hinnites distortus, and Pecten maximus was PCR amplified and sequenced. For each species, three or five clones were examined. The size ranged between 636 and 713 bp (ITS1, 209-276 bp; 5.8S rRNA gene, 157 bp; ITS2, 270-294 bp) and GC content ranged between 47 and 50% (ITS1,...
