Abstract excerpt
Cyclotella meneghiniana Kützing is one of the most commonly found and intensively studied freshwater diatom species. However, it is considered taxonomically problematic because of its unusually wide ecological range and large frustule ultrastructural variation. As part of a study of morphological and genetic variation in this morphospecies, we surveyed nucleotide variation in the hypervariable D1/D2 regions of...
