Abstract

Nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA gene (185 rDNA) from the aquaculturable seaweed Porphya tenera (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) was amplified using the polymerase chain reaction and its sequence was analysed. Complete 185 rDNA has an 1,822 bp exon and a 510 bp intron. The G+C contents of exon and intron were respectively. The exon sequence showed homology to the GebBank accession number AB029880 of the Japanese P. tenera. The intron region that is inserted upstream between 568 and 1,079 showed homology to the AB029880.
