| dc.description.abstract | In a study that aimed to fingerprint the phototrophic community of the biodeteriorated walls of the Old Cathedral of Coimbra (UNESCO World Heritage Site), an unknown Nostoc/Komarekiella-like cyanobacterium was isolated. We employed a polyphasic approach based on morphological, ecological and phylogenetic analyses of the partial 16S and the whole 16S-23S ITS rRNA regions to characterize this organism. Our strains shared 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99–100% with GenBank-assigned ‘Nostoc sp.’ sequences, and 98% similarity with the genera Goleter, Roholtiella, Aulosira and Komarekiella. Despite being morphologically similar to Komarekiella, phylogenetic analyses placed our strains in a separated genus-level clade, distant from Nostoc sensu stricto and with Komarekiella as the closest taxon. Considering all molecular, phylogenetic and ecological data, we here propose Parakomarekiella sesnandensis F.Soares, V.Ramos and A.Portugal, gen. et sp. nov. | en_EN |
