Description
Summary:Hot spring dwelling cyanobacterial strain TA-9 was isolated and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Morphological evaluation of the strain indicated the presence of typical T-type true branching with differently positioned heterocytes. Physiological characterization of the strain was also performed followed by molecular and phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene. 16S rRNA gene phylogeny indicated the strain to be strongly supported at an independent node with consistent tree topology being visible. Further, folding of the D1−D1′ and box-B helix of the ITS region differentiated the strain from phylogenetically related species. Thus, the morphological, phylogenetic and folded ITS structures confirm that the strain TA-9 is a new species of the genus Mastigocladus with the name proposed being Mastigocladus ambikapurensis in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature of algae, fungi and plants.
