INTERSPECIFIC AND INTRASPECIFIC CHLORELLA STRAIN MICROSATELLITE MOLECULAR MARKER

摘要

The present invention relates to a microsatellite marker for Chlorella, and more particularly, to a novel microsatellite molecular marker capable of interspecific and intraspecific classification of micro-algae Chlorella strains and to a primer for amplifying same. The Chlorella-derived novel microsatellite molecular marker of the present invention may enable analysis of the polymorphism genotype of an allele on the basis of the number of repetitions of a short base sequence existing in Chlorella genes, thus not only enabling interspecific classification of several Chlorella species having close phylogenetic relationships but also enabling clear intraspecific classification of Chlorella strains within an identical species. Therefore, the marker of the present invention can be used as an interspecific classification marker for Chlorella or a marker for distinguishing intraspecific strains.
