Molecular and Phytochemical Analysis of Algal Species from Okha Coast

The present investigation on ¿Molecular and phytochemical characterization of algal species from coastal belt of Okha region¿ was conducted at Department of Biotechnology, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh with objectives, phtyochemical characterization of different algal species from belt of Okha coast of Gujarat, to study molecular characterization of different algal species using PCR based molecular marker and to find out the phylogenic relationship among different algal species. To analyze molecular diversity of different algal species using PCR based molecular markers viz. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR). Total 20 RAPD primers were amplified to generate the 191 fragments in which 190 bands were polymorphic with 164 shared and 26 unique bands having an average of 9.5 bands per primer.
