[email protected] ABSTRACT Population escalation and energy crises have increased the urge to find renewable energy sources with higher sustainability index. Microalgae are potential candidates for biofuel feedstock production without utilizing fertile land and drinking water owing to their efficient oil production pathways and high value bio molecules. Morphological identification of potential microalgae species needs accurate molecular validation due to the versatility in nature, however PCR based molecular identification requires pure and axenic culture of isolates in universal primers based gene targets. In present study, monospecies algal culture were directly used to extract DNA followed by PCR amplification of 18S rDNA gene target using universal primers ITS1F-4R and rbcL gene target using primers designed for species specific gene. rbcL primers successfully amplified specific microalgae gene. Resulting sequences were annotated using multiple sequence alignment with Genebank databse and phylogenetic relationship study. These rbcL gene primers and validated PCR conditions can be used for non-axenic monospecies green microalgae isolates for easy and efficient molecular identification. -

Microcoleus Pseudautumnalis Sp. Nov. (Cyanobacteria, Oscillatoriales) Producing 2-Methylisoborneol
Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 45(3), pp. 93–101, August 22, 2019 Microcoleus pseudautumnalis sp. nov. (Cyanobacteria, Oscillatoriales) producing 2-methylisoborneol Yuko Niiyama* and Akihiro Tuji Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science, 4–1–1 Amakubo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan * E-mail: [email protected] (Received 13 May 2019; accepted 26 June 2019) Abstract A new species, Microcoleus pseudautumnalis, producing both 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin is described. We have conducted a systematic study of a bad-smelling, 2-MIB producing planktic Pseudanabaena species in Japan and described four new species (P. foetida, P. subfoetida, P. cinerea, and P. yagii). In the course of this study, we found another kind of filamentous cyanobacteria with a bad smell in a plankton sample collected from a pond in Japan. The morphology of M. pseudautumnalis resembles that of M. autumnalis (Trevisan ex Gomont) Strunecký, Komárek et Johansen (basionym: Phormidium autumnale Trevisan ex Gomont). The sheath is thin and always contains only one trichome. Trichomes are immotile, gray- ish-green, not constricted at the cross-walls, not attenuated or attenuated towards the ends with truncated or capitated apical cells, and sometimes with calyptrae that are relatively wider (6.9– 7.6 μm) than those of M. autumnalis. The phylogeny of the 16S rRNA gene of M. pseudautumnalis revealed that it is in the clade of the genus Microcoleus and contains an 11-bp insert. Microcoleus autumnalis s. str. is said to lack this insert. Microcoleus pseudautumnalis has four kinds of 2-MIB genes, and the phylogeny of this taxon is different from those of Pseudanabaena sp. -

(2018): Seeking the true Oscillatoria: a quest for a reliable phylogenetic and taxonomic reference point. – Preslia 90: 151–169. Reliable taxonomy of any group of organisms cannot be performed without phylogenetic refer- ence points. In the historical “morphological era”, a designated type specimen was considered fully sufficient but nowadays this principle can prove to be problematic and challenging espe- cially when studying microscopic organisms. However, within the last decades there has been tre- mendous advancement in microscopy imaging and molecular biology offering additional data to systematic studies in ways that are revolutionizing cyanobacterial taxonomy. Unfortunately, most of the existing herbarium specimens or even iconotypes of old established taxa often cannot be subjects of modern analytic methods. Such is the case for the widely known cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria which was introduced by Vaucher in 1803. -
First Insights Into the Impacts of Benthic Cyanobacterial Mats on Fish
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN First insights into the impacts of benthic cyanobacterial mats on fsh herbivory functions on a nearshore coral reef Amanda K. Ford 1,2*, Petra M. Visser 3, Maria J. van Herk3, Evelien Jongepier 4 & Victor Bonito5 Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are becoming increasingly common on coral reefs. In Fiji, blooms generally occur in nearshore areas during warm months but some are starting to prevail through cold months. Many fundamental knowledge gaps about BCM proliferation remain, including their composition and how they infuence reef processes. This study examined a seasonal BCM bloom occurring in a 17-year-old no-take inshore reef area in Fiji. Surveys quantifed the coverage of various BCM-types and estimated the biomass of key herbivorous fsh functional groups. Using remote video observations, we compared fsh herbivory (bite rates) on substrate covered primarily by BCMs (> 50%) to substrate lacking BCMs (< 10%) and looked for indications of fsh (opportunistically) consuming BCMs. Samples of diferent BCM-types were analysed by microscopy and next-generation amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA). In total, BCMs covered 51 ± 4% (mean ± s.e.m) of the benthos. Herbivorous fsh biomass was relatively high (212 ± 36 kg/ha) with good representation across functional groups. Bite rates were signifcantly reduced on BCM-dominated substratum, and no fsh were unambiguously observed consuming BCMs. Seven diferent BCM-types were identifed, with most containing a complex consortium of cyanobacteria. These results provide insight into BCM composition and impacts on inshore Pacifc reefs. Tough scarcely mentioned in the literature a decade ago, benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are receiving increasing attention from researchers and managers as being a nuisance on tropical coral reefs worldwide1–4. -

In Mozambique, where only 50% of the people have access to safe drinking water, this hepatotoxin is not monitored, and consequently, the population may be exposed to MCs. The few studies done in Maputo and Gaza provinces indicated the occurrence of MC-LR, -YR, and -RR at a concentration ranging from 6.83 to 7.78 µg L 1, which are very high, around 7 times · − above than the maximum limit (1 µg L 1) recommended by WHO. The potential MCs-producing in · − the studied sites are mainly Microcystis species. -

The Red Sea algal bloom was narrowly elliptical raft-like loose aggregates 20-40 cm long, 4-8 cm wide and 2-3 cm thick. Volume of small and large Sea sawdust were 160×10-6 to 960×10-6 m3 consisting of 25-153 millions flat tuft or spindle- like colonies measured 830-1500 µm long and 155-260 µm wide with 13-16 filaments laterally in the median region. Sheath was present around each trichome even covering the tip cell wall the feature has so far not been reported for the Trichodesmium spp. Because of most likely sticky nature of the sheath 300-600 µm long filaments of 195-450 formed compact colonies without colonial sheath around. In interior filaments cells were rectangular 7-10 µm long and 6.3-10 µm wide with abundant gas vacuoles, bluish-green red, no diazocyte developed and without calyptra. Cells of peripheral filaments were without gas vacuoles, cytoplasm disorganized, appearing necrotic with glycogen granules, and produced convex to sickle-shaped four-layered calyptra consisting of outermost sheath followed by outer extra thick wall, tip cell wall and inner extra thick wall on the tip cell. -

Filamentous Cyanobacteria from Western Ghats of North Kerala, India
Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 28(1): 83‒95, 2021 (June) https://doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v28i1.54210 © 2021 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists FILAMENTOUS CYANOBACTERIA FROM WESTERN GHATS OF NORTH KERALA, INDIA 1 V. GEETHU AND MAMIYIL SHAMINA Cyanobacterial Diversity Division, Department of Botany, University of Calicut, Kerala, India Keywords: Cyanobacteria, Filamentous, Peruvannamuzhi, Western Ghats. Abstract Cyanobacteria are Gram negative, photosynthetic and nitrogen fixing microorganisms which contribute much to our present-day life as medicines, foods, biofuels and biofertilizers. Western Ghats are the hotspots of biodiversity with rich combination of microbial flora including cyanobacteria. Though cosmopolitan in distribution, their abundance in tropical forests are not fully exploited. To fill up this knowledge gap, the present research was carried out on the cyanobacterial flora of Peruvannamuzhi forest and Janaki forests of Western Ghats in Kozhikode District, North Kerala State, India. Extensive specimen collections were conducted during South-West monsoon (June to September) and North-East monsoon (October to December) in the year 2019. The highest diversity of cyanobacteria was found on rock surfaces. A total of 18 cyanobacterial taxa were identified. Among them filamentous heterocystous forms showed maximum diversity with 10 species followed by non- heterocystous forms with 8 species. The highest number of cyanobacteria were identified from Peruvannamuzhi forest with 15 taxa followed by Janaki forest with 3 taxa. The non- heterocystous cyanobacterial genus Oscillatoria Voucher ex Gomont showed maximum abundance with 4 species. In this study we reported Planktothrix planktonica (Elenkin) Agagnostidis & Komárek 1988, Oscillatoria euboeica Anagnostidis 2001 and Nostoc interbryum Sant’Anna et al. 2007 as three new records from India. -
