Abstract

The marine bivalve (family Veneridae and Mytilidae) are dominant groups in terms of species numbers, diversity of habitat and economical importance. The aim of the current study is to gain new insights onto the phylogeny of four different species of bivalvein Egypt. Partial sequence of the mitochondrialcytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) is sequenced to assess whether different species of bivalve could be distinguished by DNA barcoding technique. The obtained molecular results revealed the efficacy of DNA barcoding in species identification and differentiation between the different species.
