Abstract
The toxigenic and bloom-forming cyanobacterial genus Microcystis conta ins several ill-defined species. The 16S rDNA for two strains of toxic M. aeruginosa were sequenced and compared to available cyanobacterial , bacterial, and chloroplast 16S rRNA gene information. Phylogeny and the validity of a molecular taxonomy for the genus Microcystis is pres ented.
