Abstract
    The 16S rRNA sequence of sp. strain NIBB 1067 was determined and used for the construction of a distance tree and bootstrap analysis. The tree shows that, among the available cyanobacterial 16S rRNA sequences, NIBB 1067 has PCC 7515 as its closest relative, presenting 94.9% of sequence similarity with the latter strain. This is in contrast to a difference of 9 mol% G + C in mean genomic DNA base composition between the two organisms. Nevertheless, the genotypic heterogeneity presented by a number of strains assigned to the genus hinders a taxonomic decision on the separate existence of the genera and The sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes was also determined, as a possible marker to study inter- and intraspecific variability. The ITS contains the genes coding for tRNAlle and tRNAAla and its total length is 547 nucleotides. In six out of eight sequenced clones, there is a duplication of 29 nucleotides, surrounding the 5′ end of the tRNAlle.
