However, comparison of the type species of these genera and their polyphasic analyses enable the separation of both generic entities. Definitions of their diacritical characters follow from the combination of their phylogenetic and morphological criteria. The concepts of Anabaena sensu stricto (particularly without planktic types with gas vesicles in cells – Dolichospermum) and Wollea, derived from their types are proposed in the article and their review is presented in the table. A new species from saltworks in southern Thailand, W. salina, is described. Key words: Anabaena, Cyanobacteria, ecology, molecular analyses, morphology, polyphasic approach, taxonomy, Wollea INTRODUCTION larly with respect to molecular evaluation (16S rRNA gene sequences; zapomělová et al. 2013, in litt.). -

The colony-forming Nostoc verrucosum (“Ashitsuki”) and Nostoc commune (“Ishikurage”), as well as Anabaena species (Nostocales), contained homospermidine. The thermo-halotolerant Spirulina subsalsa var. salina (Spirulinales), as well as freshwater Spirulina strains, contained spermidine. Putrescine, spermidine, and homospermidine were found in freshwater colony-forming Aphanothece sacrum (“Suizenji-nori”), whereas the halotolerant Aphanothece halophytica and Microcystis species (Chroococcales) contained spermidine alone. In addition to putrescine, spermidine, homospermidine and agmatine, thermospermine was found as a major polyamine in haloalkaliphilic Arthrospira platensis (“Spirulina”) (Oscillatoriales). In the Synechococcales, chlorophyll b-containing Prochlorococcus marina contained spermidine, and chlorophyll d-containing Acaryochloris marina contained -

Biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria at Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.The current study describes the biodiversity and distribution of cyanobacteria from the natural habitats of Schirmacher land, East Antarctica surveyed during 23rd Indian Antarctic Expedition (2003–2004). Cyanobacteria were mapped using the Global Positioning System (GPS). A total of 109 species (91 species were non-heterocystous and 18 species were heterocystous) from 30 genera and 9 families were recorded; 67, 86 and 14 species of cyanobacteria were identified at altitudes of sea level >100 m, 101–150 m and 398–461 m, respectively. The relative frequency and relative density of cyanobacterial populations in the microbial mats showed that 11 species from 8 genera were abundant and 6 species (Phormidium angustissimum, P. tenue, P. uncinatum Schizothrix vaginata, Nostoc kihlmanii and Plectonema terebrans) could be considered as dominant species in the study area. Key words. Antarctic, cyanobacteria, biodiversity, blue-green algae, Schirmacher oasis, Species distribution. RESUMEN.

Hunter Eco, PO Box 1047, Toronto, NSW, 2283 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract Restoration of soils post-mining requires key solutions to complex issues where the disturbance of topsoil incorporating soil microbial communities can result in a modification to ecosystem function. This research was in collaboration with Iluka 15 Resources at Jacinth-Ambrosia (J-A) mineral sand mine located in a semi-arid chenopod shrubland in southern Australia. At J-A, assemblages of microorganisms and microflora inhabit at least half of the soil surfaces and are collectively known as biocrusts. This research encompassed a polyphasic approach to soil microbial community profiling focused on ‘biobanking’ viable cyanobacteria in topsoil stockpiles to facilitate rehabilitation. We found that cyanobacterial communities were compositionally diverse topsoil microbiomes. There was no significant difference in cyanobacterial community structure 20 across soil types. As hypothesised, cyanobacteria were central to soil micro-processes, strongly supported by species richness and diversity. Cyanobacteria were a significant component of all three successional stages with 21 species identified from ten sites. Known nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria Symploca, Scytonema, Porphyrosiphon, Brasilonema, Nostoc and Gloeocapsa comprised more than 50% of the species richness at each site and 61% of the total community richness. -

Efficiency of Partial 16S Rrna Gene Sequencing As Molecular Marker for Phylogenetic Study of Cyanobacteria, with Emphasis on Some Complex Taxa
Volume 61(1):59-68, 2017 Acta Biologica Szegediensis http://www2.sci.u-szeged.hu/ABS ARTICLE Efficiency of partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing as molecular marker for phylogenetic study of cyanobacteria, with emphasis on some complex taxa Zeinab Shariatmadari1*, Farideh Moharrek2, Hossein Riahi1, Fatemeh Heidari1, Elaheh Aslani1 1Faculty of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shahid Beheshti University, G.C. Tehran, Iran 2Department of Plant Biology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran ABSTRACT At present, the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences is the most commonly used KEY WORDS molecular marker for phylogenetic studies of cyanobacteria. However, in many studies partial cyanobacteria sequences is used. To evaluate the performance of this molecular marker, phylogenetic relation- intermixed taxa ship of several taxa from this phylum, especially some intermixed taxa, was studied. We analyzed molecular phylogeny a data set consisting of three categories of cyanobacterial strains, traditionally classified in three taxonomy orders, by morphological and phylogenetic analyses. The phylogenetic analyses were performed 16S rRNA gene with an emphasis on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences (600 bp) and the phylogenetic relation- ships were assessed using Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference. In morphometric study, numerical taxonomy was performed on several morphospecies, and cluster analysis was performed using SPSS software. Based on the findings of this study, unlike the morphological analysis which was useful in several taxonomic ranks, this molecular marker is recommended for use only in high taxonomic levels such as order and family, because, contrary to our expectations, using partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing in the lower taxonomic levels, even in the genus level, was not necessarily successful. -

During the experiment, 58 microbial isolates (43 epiphytes and 15 endophytes) with different morphologies were obtained. We successfully identified 85% of microorganisms and assigned them to 9 bacterial genera: Achromobacter, Bacillus, Microbacterium, Delftia, Agrobacterium, and Alcaligenes (epiphytes) as well as Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, and Acinetobacter (endophytes). We also studied an A. filiculoides cyanobiont originally classified as Anabaena azollae; however, the analysis of its morphological traits suggests that this should be renamed as Trichormus azollae. Finally, the potential of the representatives of the identified microbial genera to synthesize plant growth-promoting substances such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), cellulase and protease enzymes, siderophores and phosphorus (P) and their potential of utilization thereof were checked. Delftia sp. AzoEpi7 was the only one from all the identified genera exhibiting the ability to synthesize all the studied growth promoters; thus, it was recommended as the most beneficial bacteria in the studied microbiome. -
