Table 3.
Genetic p-distance and sequence similarities (%) based on comparisons of 18S rDNA sequences of Myxidium acutum n. sp., Myxidium truncatum n. sp., Myxidium orbiculare n. sp. and its most closely related species exhibiting ≥80% 18S rDNA sequence identity and ≥80% query coverage. Only identical or the closest-related sequences are presented.
