Abstract
Two strains of subaerial cyanobacteria were collected from two locations of the Republic of Korea, one in Seoul and the other in Gyeonggi‐do, both of which were studied using morphological and molecular traits. The genus Edaphophycus belonging to the family Coleofasciculaceae is morphologically very similar to the type genus Coleofasciculus and genus Kastovskya. However, in genera Coleofasciculus and Roseofilum thylakoids were reported as radial arrangements, whereas in genera Anagnostidinema, Geitlerinema, Kastovskya, and Wilmottia, belonging to family Coleofasciculaceae, thylakoids were reported as parietal arrangements, and in genus Edaphophycus in this study, thylakoids also appeared as parietal arrangements. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA showed that our two Edaphophycus epilithus strains clustered in the same clade, forming a sister relationship with genus Anagnostidinema. This suggested that our species belongs to the family Coleofasciculaceae. In addition, the ITS structure of E. epilithus showed different features when compared with genera Coleofasciculus and Anagnostidinema. These results demonstrated that E. epilithus sp. nov. is unique in morphology and molecular traits. Therefore, we propose this to be a novel species belonging to family Coleofasciculaceae and genus Edaphophycus gen. nov.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
