gen. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov., novel members of coccoid Free

Abstract

Two isolated from South Atlantic Ocean continental shelf deep water and from a marine green algae inhabiting the Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Antarctica were investigated based on morphological and ultrastructural traits, phylogeny of 16S rRNA gene sequences, secondary structure of the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer regions and phylogenomic analyses. The majority of these evaluations demonstrated that both strains differ from the genera of cyanobacteria with validly published names and, therefore, supported the description of the novel genus as gen. nov. The identity and phylogeny of 16S rRNA gene sequences, together with the secondary structure of D1D1′ and BoxB intergenic regions, further supported the two strains representing distinct species: gen. nov., sp. nov. (type SP469036, strain CENA595) and sp. nov. (type SP469035, strain CENA408). The phylogenomic analysis of sp. nov. CENA595, based on 21 protein sequences, revealed that this genus belongs to the cyanobacterial order . The isolation and cultivation of two geographically distant unicellular members of a novel cyanobacterial genus and the sequenced genome of the type strain bring new insights into the current classification of the coccoid group, and into the reconstruction of their evolutionary history.
