Use of Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) for analysis of mixed samples of brine shrimp Artemia and rotifers Brachionus plicatilis
Dutch title: Gebruik van Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) voor de analyse van mengstalen van het pekelkreeftje en Artemia en de rotifeer Brachionus plicatilis
Period: February 2005 till January 2007
Status: Completed

Taxonomic terms: Artemia Leach, 1819 [WoRMS]; Brachionus Pallas, 1766 [WoRMS]

The DGGE technique will be developed into a cost-effective tool for the analysis of the mixed status of samples of Brachionus resting eggs and Artemia cysts. Assessment of the mixed status of these samples and batches has immediate relevance for their larviculture applications, but also for basic studies of ecology, population dynamics and genetics.
