PRESENCE OF PHYCOERYTHRIN IN TWO STRAINS OF PROCHLOROCOCCUS (CYANOBACTERIA) ISOLATED FROM THE SUBTROPICAL NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN .

abstract：:The new species Rhipilia coppejansii is described from Guam. This species, which has the external appearance of a Chlorodesmis species, features tenacula upon microscopical examination, a diagnostic character of Rhipilia. This unique morphology, along with the tufA and rbcL data presented herein, set this species apar...

abstract：:Historically, the genus Calothrix included all noncolonial, tapered, heterocytous filaments within the cyanobacteria. However, recent molecular phylogenies show that "Calothrix" defined in this sense represents five distinct clades. The type species of Calothrix is marine, with solitary basal heterocytes, no akinetes,...
