Molecular cloning and characterization of ribosomal RNA genes from the brine shrimp.

A library of genomic DNA from the brine shrimp, Artemia, has been constructed with the Charon 4A phage vector, utilizing EcoRI passenger fragments. Screening this library with purified Xenopus laevis cloned rDNA genes has resulted in the identification and plaque purification of a recombinant containing a complete Artemia (18 S + 26 S) rDNA repeat unit. A physical map derived from the analysis of restriction endonuclease digests of the repeat unit, which measures 13.9 kilobase pairs, is similar to the map derived from genomic DNA. In common with several other species, the 26 S rRNA gene terminates with a HindIII recognition site.
