Genetic Change of Pharella acutidens Influenced by Pb and Cd Metals in Rupat Strait Waters

Rupat Strait related to the of Malacca is a national and international shipping lane makes region affected by anthropogenic activities that result in decrease quality waters such as increasing amount heavy metal content. The most easily contaminated organism metals bivalves due its low mobility, being filter feeders, ability accumulate contaminants,. purpose this study was look at genetic changes (P.acutidens) metals. conducted from February March 2021. Bivalve sample collected analysis Marine Biology Laboratory Genetics Riau University. DNA isolated with Geneaid Tissue Genomic Mini Kit. isolation results were then carried out PCR process sequencing PT. Genetika Science Indonesia. show obtained samples derived Selinsing have composition nitrogen bases compared other two stations.
