Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of picoplanktonic (i.e. cells that can pass through a 3 mum pore-size filter) green algae was investigated in the Mediterranean Sea in late summer by a culture-independent approach. Genetic libraries of the 18S rRNA gene were constructed using two different primer sets. The first set is commonly used to amplify the majority of eukaryotic lineages, while the second was composed of a general...
