Molecular phylogeny of Aphanocapsa sp.

The 16S rRNA primers yielded an amplification product of approximately 1500 base pairs. The analysis involved 11 nucleotide sequences. Codon positions included were 1st+2nd+3rd+Noncoding. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There was a total of 768 positions in the final data set. BLAST analysis of sequence of the cyanobacteria showed 99.00 % query cover and 78.57% identity with Aphanocapsa sp. showed as top hit. Based on morphological analysis, sequence homology and phylogenetic analysis the cyanobacterium was confirmed as Aphanocapsa sp. and submitted to NCBI gen bank and obtained accession number SUB6921083.
