Abstract
The genes were cloned for the two apoprotein subunits, α and β,of phycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima = Arthrospiramaxima) strain F3. The α- and β-subunit gene-coding regionscontain 489 bp and 519 bp, respectively. The β-subunit gene is upstreamfrom the α-subunit gene, with a 111-bp segment separating them.Similarities between the α-subunits of S. maxima and nine othercyanobacteria were between 58% and 99%, as were those between the β-subunits. The maximum similarity between the α- and β-subunits from S. maxima was 27%.
