摘要

Abstract

Species in the cyanobacterial genus

Merismopedia

are present in freshwaters at different trophic levels

with some species even as the components of cyanobacterial blooms. However

species diversity in this genus was not fully verified by molecular investigation and polyphasic taxonomic studies. In this study

Merismopedia

-like strain

tenuissima

CHAB 7021 was isolated from Ganjiang River in Jiangxi Province

China

and polyphasic characterization of this strain was performed by morphological observation

ultrastructural examination

chemical detection of pigments and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Morphological identification of the strain was supported by the ultrastructural features

as the tiny species

Merismopedia tenuissima

Lemmermann. The phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed at least three clades formed by the strains of

Merismopedia

. The three

tenuissima

strains including

tenuissima

CHAB 7021 was gathered in clade Ⅲ with distant relationship to the clade Ⅰ formed by the six

Merismopedia

strains including the type species

punctata

and such a genetic distance may propose

Merismopedia tenuissima

to separate from

Merismopedia

genus. However intermixture relationship in between strains of

punctate

and

glauca

in the phylogenetic tree still complicated the taxonomic status in the genus

Merismopedia

. The process for taxonomic revision in the

Merismopedia

genus still await for examination and further information on more strains of type species

punctata
