Abstract excerpt
The phylogeny of the terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune and its neighboring Nostoc species was studied using molecular genetic and chemotaxonomic approaches. At least eight genotypes of N. commune were characterized by the differences among 16S rRNA gene sequences and the petH gene encoding ferredoxin-NADP⁺ oxidoreductase and by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. The genotypes of N. commune were...
