Anabaena - Phenotypic and genotypic diversity of planktonic strains in fishponds and reservoirs of the Czech Republic
ZAPOMĚLOVÁ, Eliška
Morphological diversity of 61 Anabaena populations of 13 morphospecies was described under the field conditions of Czech fishponds and reservoirs. Polyphasic approach was then applied in classification of 45 clonal strains isolated from those populations. Detailed morphological analyses were performed and partial 16S rRNA gene sequences were obtained for 33 of the strains, and secondary metabolite production was evaluated in 20 strains. Plasticity of morphological characteristics under varied conditions of light, temperature, nitrogen and phosphorus was studied in selected strains, as well as their temperature and light growth requirements. The results were then discussed with respect to the delimitation of single Anabaena morphospecies. A new genus Sphaerospermum was defined for the morphospecies Anabaena kisseleviana, A. reniformis and Aphanizomenon aphanizomenoides, whose phenotypic and genotypic features differed considerably from all other Anabaena morphospecies. Unique information was provided on the occurrence and distribution of A. reniformis and Aph. aphanizomenoides in the Czech Republic.
Cytotoxicity of the filamentous cyanobacteria in relation to its ecology
TOMEK, Petr
The aims of this study was to screen a cytotoxic activity in 53 strains of the genera Nostoc and Anabaena and to compare occurence of active isolates within different ecological groups. Selected cytotoxic strains were subjected to HPLC/MS analysis to identify their extracts composition. Isolates with strong cytotoxic effect containing unknown substances were fractionated to obtain pure fraction of this compound. Finally, the selected strains toxicity dependence on time and concentration was evaluated.
