Fatty acids as biological markers for symbiotic bacteria in Phyllidia varicosa and Phyllidiella pustulosa

The fatty acid (FA) composition of Phyllidia varicosa and Phyllidiella pustulosa (notum and viscera) was investigated. Samples were collected from coastal water of Balok - Pahang - Malaysia. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that nudibranchs species host symbiotic bacteria by using f...
