title: rbcL sequencing of Bangiales sporophytes from algal hosts
design: DNA extracts of various red algal species were screened for the presence of Bangiales sporophytes (the conchocelis life stage) using primers ConcF3 (5 GWGTIGATCCAGTTCCRAAYGTTG 3) and TLR6 (5 GTATAACCAATWACAAGRTC 3) following Saunders G.W. & Moore T.E. (2013). "Refinements for the amplification and sequencing of red algal DNA barcode and RedTol phylogenetic markers: a summary of current primers, profiles and strategies.
