The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profile of A. azollae strains isolated from four different Azolla cultures was studied by using different primers. The objective of this study was to determine whether polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with different primers could differentiate the isolated A. azollae strains from one another. The primers amplified specific sequences of the isolates and generated fingerprinting pattern characteristic of each isolate. Clear polymorphism was noticed among all the strains which depends on the primer sequence.
