The aim of this study was to provide molecular detection and characterization of the goat isolate ofTaenia hydatigenafrom Ankara province of Turkey. For this purpose, PCR amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA (rrnS) and partial sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mt-CO1) genes were performed in a one-month-old dead goat. According to rrnS-PCR results, parasites were identified asTaeniaspp., and partial sequence of mt-CO1 gene was corresponding toT. hydatigena. At the end of the study, we concluded that molecular tools can be used to define species of parasites in cases where the key morphologic features cannot be detected. Nucleotide sequence data of Turkish goat isolate ofT. hydatigenawas submitted to GenBank for other researchers interested in this subject. By this study, molecular detection and characterization ofT. hydatigenawas done for the first time in Turkey.

Small-subunit ribosomal RNA sequence data are presented for Rhodogorgon carriebowensis Norris et Bucher (Rhodogorgonales, Rhodophyta) and Galaxaura marginata (Ellis et Solander) Lamouroux (Nemaliales, Rhodophyta). Data for these species were included in a matrix consisting of small-subunit ribosomal RNA sequences for 70 taxonomically diverse red algal species. Distance, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood analyses of these data all strongly support (100% of bootstrap replicates for distance and parsimony) a close alliance between the Rhodogorgonales and Corallinales. Our alignment includes 19 species representing six florideophyte orders (Acrochaetiales, Batrachospermales, Corallinales, Nemaliales, Palmariales, Rhodogorgonales) in which pit plugs are characterized by two cap layers. Distance and parsimony analyses resolve a monophyletic lineage including all "two-cap-layer" species. Our parsimony-derived molecular phylogeny was used to test a published hypothesis of pit-plug evolution. Four aspects of Pueschel's hypothesis are consistent with the results of our molecular systematic study: (i) "naked" plugs represent the ancestral type, (ii) outer cap layers are homologous structures, (iii) domed outer caps are ancestral to plate-like outer caps, and (iv) cap membranes are a derived feature within the two-cap-layer lineage. Directions for future research are discussed. Key words: Acrochaetiales, Batrachospermales, Corallinales, molecular systematics, Nemaliales, Palmariales, phylogeny, pit plug, Rhodogorgonales, Rhodophyta.
