Abstract

In Panama, the cultivation of Kappaphycus began more than 20 years ago, in the Province of Colón, generating economic income in coastal communities in an eco-sustainable way. Over time, these crops undergo various changes generated by interaction with the environment (pollution, herbivores, climatic conditions, others). These factors influence the phenotype and genotype of macroalgae cultures, which often makes their correct taxonomic identification, characterization, and maintenance of the cultivated strains complex and the fact that they have high phenotypic plasticity. For this reason, it is necessary to resort to molecular identification techniques to identify and molecularly characterize these introduced species of commercial importance. This study aims to identify the Kappaphycus cultivated in the Coasts of the Province of Colón using molecular markers. For this, chloroplastic molecular markers such as rbcL and mitochondrial markers such as the cox2-3 gene were used. As a result, were obtained sequences of the mitochondrial cox 2-3 gene, which were subjected to phylogenetic analysis and the sequences deposited in the databases, resulting in the cultivated species corresponding to the Kappaphycus alvarezii species and shows closeness to the Kappaphycus and Eucheuma species from Malaysia.
