The small subunit rRNA (SSrRNA) gene was sequenced for two marine scuticociliates Metanophrys sirnilis and Pseu-ocohnilembus hargisl. The results show that this gene comprises 1763 and 1753 nucleotldes in the two ma...
The divisional process and systematic position of the marine scuticociliate Dexiotrichides pangi are studied. Based on both stomatogenetic data and 18S rDNA gene sequences, the phylogeny and morphogenetic characterist...
