Development of microsatellite markers in red-tide causative species Prorocentrum micans (Dinophyceae)

We isolated eight polymorphic microsatellites from the red-tide causing microalgae Prorocentrum micans. These loci provide a class of highly variable genetic markers, as the number of alleles ranged from two to six with an average of 3.9, and the estimate of gene diversity was from 0.15 to 0.55 with...

Summary:We isolated eight polymorphic microsatellites from the red-tide causing microalgae Prorocentrum micans. These loci provide a class of highly variable genetic markers, as the number of alleles ranged from two to six with an average of 3.9, and the estimate of gene diversity was from 0.15 to 0.55 with an average of 0.41 across the eight microsatellites. We consider that these loci have a potential to reveal the genetic structure and gene flow among P. micans populations.
