Abstract
Genus Klisinema (Desertifilaceae, Desertifilales) has only one species, Klisinema persicum, reported worldwide, and this species was found in soils around thermal springs (50°C) of high radiation regions. Simple filament cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Klisinema were collected from Korea, and cultured samples were studied through morphological, ecological and molecular analyses. Both Korean K. persicum and Klisinema koreana were found as epilithic species in freshwater gravel, which have different ecological characteristics from previously reported K. persicum. As a result of morphological analysis, keritomized cytoplasm was observed in K. koreana, and this feature was also newly observed in K. persicum that was discovered in Korea. In addition, K. koreana has a larger width/length ratio compared to K. persicum, and both species have an irregular thylakoid arrangement. Furthermore, as a result of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA, the genus Klisinema formed a monophyletic lineage, and K. koreana strains were clearly separated from K. persicum strains to form a phylogenetic tree. Moreover, when comparing the secondary structure of the 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer region, K. koreana has a structural difference from K. persicum, especially in the structure of the Box-B helix. Therefore, Klisinema koreana sp. nov. was proposed as a new species belonging to the genus Klisinema of family Desertifilaceae.

Phycological Research is published by the Japanese Society of Phycology and complements the Japanese Journal of Phycology. The Journal publishes international, basic or applied, peer-reviewed research dealing with all aspects of phycology including ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny, evolution, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, morphology, physiology, new techniques to facilitate the international exchange of results. All articles are peer-reviewed by at least two researchers expert in the filed of the submitted paper. Phycological Research has been credited by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy for the purpose of registration of new non-vascular plant names (including fossils).
