초록

This study characterizes three $Anabaena$ strains and 5 $Trichormus$ strains isolated from Korean waters and 3 $Anabaena$ $flos-aquae$ strains procured from the UTEX based on morphological features and molecular analyses. The $Anabaena$ and $Trichormus$ isolates were morphologically assigned to $A.$ $variabilis$ K$\ddot{u}$tzing and $T.$ $variabilis$(K$\ddot{u}$tzing ex Bornet et Flahault) Kom$\acute{a}$rek et Anagnostidis, respectively. The $Anabaena$ and $Trichormus$ strains differed significantly in the mean length of their vegetative cells. The 16S rRNA genes from the $Anabaena$ strains showed a 100% identity to that from $A.$ $variabilis$ ATCC 29413, while the 16S rRNA genes from the $Trichormus$ strains showed a 99.9% identity to that from $T.$ $variabilis$ GREIFSWALD. The overall topology was in agreement for the 16S rRNA gene and $cpcBA$-IGS trees in the both tree-constructing methods. In a neighbor-joining tree based on the 16S rRNA gene, the 3 $Anabaena$ strains were asso-ciated with $A.$ $variabilis$, the 5 $Trichormus$ strains with $T.$ $variabilis$, and the 3 $Anabaena$ (UTEX) strains were with $Nostoc$. To date, this is the first report on $A.$ $variabilis$ and $T.$ $variabilis$ strains originating from Korea.
