Development of coral and zooxanthella-specific microsatellites in three species of Pocillopora (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) from French Polynesia
Résumé
Since the building of coral reefs results from the association of corals and zooxanthellae, their intracellular algal symbionts, genetic markers for both organisms are essential for studying the contribution of their respective dispersal to the resilience of endangered reef ecosystems. Very few microsatellites have been obtained in corals thus far. Here we report the successful cloning of six polymorphic microsatellites (allele number: 5-15) from Pocillopora verrucosa, P. meandrina and P. damicornis. Four of them amplified coral, and two amplified zooxanthella DNA.
