Abstract excerpt
Studies were undertaken to discover the relative molecular distances separating some familiar forms of ciliated protozoa, and the genetic species they include. Sequences of 190 bases of the D2 domain of the large ribosomal nucleic acid molecule were obtained by polymerase chain reaction from protists of three distinctive groups of ciliated protozoa-Colpoda, Paramecium and Tetrahymena. Evolutionary trees were...
