Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhylogenetic Study of Some Strains of DunaliellaDuc Tran, Trung Vo, Sixto Portilla et al.Dunaliella strains were isolated from a key site for salt production in Vietnam (Vinh Hao, Binh Thuan province). The strains were identified based on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) markers. The phylogenetic tree revealed these strains belong to the clades of Dunaliella salina and Dunaliella viridis. Results of this study confirm the ubiquitous nature of Dunaliella and suggest that strains of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite
