Abstract
Our environmental DNA analysis identified Annamia-like operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan every summer season during the period from June 2012-May 2015. A strain from Lake Kasumigaura that agreed with an Annamia-like OTU (NIES-4383) was established with a cell-sorting machine. Based on the differences in morphology and 16S rRNA sequences, a new taxon is described: Annamia dubia Tuji, Yamaguchi et Niiyama sp. nov. A. dubia produces a microcystins that is also produced by A. toxica. Our 16S rRNA phylogenetical analysis reveals that the genus Annamia makes a monophyletic clade with the genera Geminocystis, Geminobacterium, and 'Cyanobacterium.' Although this clade agrees with Cyanobacteriaceae Komarek et al. (2014), this family is invalid based on the invalid genus Cyanobacterium and the type species Cyanobacterium stanieri. We propose the alternative name Geminocystaceae Tuji, Yamaguchi et Niiyama fam. nov. based on the genus Geminocystis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
