Abstract excerpt
PCR amplicons of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) of the rrn operon of three axenic OMF (oceanic, marine and freshwater) strains of 'Synechococcus' (WH7803, PCC 7001 and PCC 6307, respectively) differ greatly in length from that of the axenic Prochlorococcus marinus subsp. pastoris PCC 9511(T), although these four cyanobacteria cluster relatively closely in phylogenetic trees inferred from 16S rRNA gene...
