Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic characterization of isoenzymes in the marine algal genus Callithamnion.
Techniques have been developed for the visualisation of a range of enzyme species extracted from field collected marine algal populations, to provide biochemical data in the form of zymogram patterns that closely reflect the genetic identity of these plants. These patterns provide an alternative basis for increasingly accurate recognition to complement that provided by morphology, thus helping to clarify the taxonomic problems which exist in the marine algal genus Callithamnion Lyngbye as currently conceived.
