Abstract

A filamentous, soil-dwelling cyanobacterial strain (9C-PS) was isolated from Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, India, and is described as a new species of the genus . Extensive morphological and molecular characterization along with a thorough assessment of ecology was performed. The style of filament orientation, type and nature of the sheath (e.g. distribution and visibility across the trichome), and vegetative and heterocyte cell dimensions and shape were assessed for over one year using both the laboratory grown culture and the naturally occurring samples. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed 94 % similarity with CENA21 while analyses of the secondary structures of the 16S–23S ITS region showed unique folding patterns that differentiated this strain from other species of . The level of and C1 gene sequence similarity was 91 and 94 % to sp. PCC 7524 and CENA21, respectively, while the D gene sequence similarity was found to be 99 % with CENA21. The phenotypic, ecological, genetic and phylogenetic observations indicate that the strain 9C-PS represents a novel species of the genus with the name proposed being sp. nov. according to the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants.
