Coral-host specificity of Red Sea Lithophaga bivalves: interspecific and intraspecific variation in 12S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA.

Molecular marine biology and biotechnology - 1 Jun 1994

Mokady O, Rozenblatt S, Graur D, Loya Y

Abstract excerpt

Comparison of 12S mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences was used to approach the question of species specificity between boring bivalves of the genus Lithophaga and their coral hosts. A 450-bp long fragment was amplified by PCR from 13 individuals belonging to five subgroups of Lithophaga bivalves. These subgroups are defined according to their coral hosts species, and they belong to three currently recognized...
