摘要:

细鞘丝藻类蓝藻(Leptolyngbya-like cyanobacteria)是干旱生态系统生物结皮中的常见藻种, 其形态特征差别细微, 仅依靠形态特征难以在物种水平对其进行准确分类。本文利用形态特征、16S rRNA谱系分析和ITS (internal transcribed spacer)二级结构相结合的多相分析方法, 系统研究了古尔班通古特沙漠和毛乌素沙地生物土壤结皮中分离纯化出的6株细丝状蓝藻。结果表明, 6株实验藻株隶属2目3科4属4种, 包括细鞘丝藻目细鞘丝藻科细鞘丝藻属(Leptolyngbya)的鲍氏细鞘丝藻(L. boryana)、粘鞘藻属(Myxacorys)的加利福尼亚粘鞘藻(M. californica)和须鞘藻科须鞘藻属(Trichocoleus)的沙生须鞘藻(T. desertorum), 以及细点丝藻目细点丝藻科细点丝藻属(Oculatella)的细长细点丝藻(O. coburniia)。其中细点丝藻目为中国新记录目, 须鞘藻科和细点丝藻科为中国新记录科, 粘鞘藻属、须鞘藻属和细点丝藻属为中国新记录属; 沙生须鞘藻、加利福尼亚粘鞘藻和细长细点丝藻是中国新记录种。该研究结果丰富了对荒漠生物结皮蓝藻多样性的认识。

Abstract

Aims: Biological soil crusts are an important landscape in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. Leptolyngbya-like cyanobacteria are common groups of cyanobacteria found in biocrusts within arid ecosystem. However, their morphological characteristics are often subtle, making species-level differentiation based solely on morphological characteristics difficult. This study aims to enrich the understanding of the species diversity of biological crust cyanobacteria in arid and semi-arid regions by integrating morphological characteristics with molecular biology.
Method: In this study, six strains of Leptolyngbya-like cyanobacteria, isolated from the Gurbantunggut Desert and the Mu Us Desert, were identified by morphological characteristics, 16S rRNA molecular sequences, and ITS (internal transcribed spacer) secondary structure methods.
Results: The results showed that all the experimental cyanobacterial strains belonged to 4 species and 4 genus of 3 families, 2 orders, including Leptolyngbya boryana of Leptolyngbya and Myxacorys californica of Myxacorys in Leptolyngbyaceae, Trichocoleus desertorum of Trichocoleus in Trichocoleusaceae of Leptolynabgales, and Oculatella coburniia of Oculatella in Oculatellaceae of Oculatellales.
Conclusion: We found Oculatellales as a new record order in China, along with Trichocoleusaceae and Oculatellaceae as new record families, Myxacorys, Trichocoleus, and Oculatella as new record genera. Additionally, T. desertorum, M. californica, and O. coburniia are newly recorded species in China. These findings enhance our understanding of cyanobacterial diversity in biocrusts in desert areas.
