Description
Summary:In this paper, we present the results of a comparative genetic and ultrastructural study of three clones of the microalga Porphyridium purpureum (Rhodophyta) from the culture collection of marine microalgae of the Zhirmunsky Institute of Marine Biology. All clones, which have different geographical origins, showed a high similarity in terms of the ultramicroscopic structure and the nucleotide sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA genes (18S rDNA, ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2, D1-D2 region of 28S rDNA). The obtained data are very helpful for the certification of two strains of P. purpureum that were isolated for the first time in the practice of Russian algological research.
