The Gamma primer showed nonspecific primer annealing, the literature information will be checked in order to find out if the correct sequence was used to predict optimal parameters. With the correct parameters for the CYB primer, this one will proceed to be used with the samples of Thalassia testudinum and Halodule wrightii from Santa Rosa Sound to continue the study on nitrogen fixation by epiphytes. The next steps are to finish DNA extraction of epiphytes from the seagrass blades collected and use these primers to identify the presence of the nifH genes.
