DNA sequencing

COI amplification used the pair of primers, FishF1 and FishR1(Ward et al., 2005). PCR was carried out in Thermo Cycler with a 25 μL volumes, containing 8.5 μL sterile nuclease free water, 2 μL of each primer , 12.5 μL Go Taq® Green Master Mix (Promega Inc, U.S.A.) and 2 μL of template DNA. PCR program used a thermal profile, including a preliminary denaturation for 2 minutes at 95 °C followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 40 seconds, annealing at 52°C for 40 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 90 seconds, and finally a single extra extension at 72°C for 5 minutes. PCR products were confirmed via gel electrophoresis using 1.5% agarose gel stained with SybrGreen fluorescent dye for band characterization through Gel Imaging System. Subsequently, PCR products were sent for sequencing at Sangon Biotech Cooperation Ltd (Shanghai, P.R. China)

DID You Know Tanzania is The Home of Coconut Crab?

Tanzania is the home of the coconut crab. This crab, the largest crab in the world (and reportedly one of the most delicious), can be found on Chumbe Island of Zanzibar. At up to 1 m (3 ft) long, coconut crabs are not simply the largest land crabs. They are the largest arthropods, the group that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans, that live on land. These crabs has the advantage of living underwater where its weight is supported. Despite their name they eat a varied diet, including lots of fleshy fruit, and they also prey on smaller crabs. When they decide to eat a coconut, they rip strips of husk off with their pincers, then hit it repeatedly until it breaks open. They live in underground burrows, lined with fibres from coconut husks. Unlike most crabs, they are almost entirely land-based, only returning to the sea to lay their eggs. Source: tanzania tourism board CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ARTICLE
