Establishment of a New Filamentous Cyanobacterial Genus, <i>Microcoleusiopsis</i> gen. nov. (Microcoleaceae, Cyanobacteria), from Benthic Mats in Open Channel, Jiangxi Province, China

Cyanobacterial taxonomic studies performed by using the modern approaches always lead to creation of many new genera and species. During the field survey for cyanobacterial resources in China, a filamentous cyanobacterial strain was successfully isolated from a microbial mat attached to rock surface...

This strain was morphologically similar to the cyanobacterial taxa belonging to the genera <i>Microcoleus</i> and <i>Phormidium</i>.

During the field survey for cyanobacterial resources in China, a filamentous cyanobacterial strain was successfully isolated from a microbial mat attached to rock surfaces of the Ganfu Channel, Jiangxi Province, China. This strain was morphologically similar to the cyanobacterial taxa belonging to the genera <i>Microcoleus</i> and <i>Phormidium</i>.
