Diversity and Distribution of Diatom Endosymbionts in <i>Amphistegina</i> spp. (Foraminifera) Based on Molecular and Morphological Techniques

Diatoms associated with foraminifers of the genus Amphistegina were assessed using a combination of morphological and molecular techniques. These included: 1) microscopic identification of diatoms cultured from the host, 2) sequencing of portions of the small subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene (18S)...
