Abstract excerpt
In the circadian system of cyanobacteria, the ldpA gene is a component of the input to the clock. We comparatively analyzed nucleotide polymorphism of this gene in populations of two closely related species of cyanobacteria (denoted as Synechococcus species S1 and S2, respectively) from extreme cold deserts in Antarctica, the Canadian Arctic, and Tibet. Although both species manifested similarly high haplotype...
