Molecular analysis of cell division genes and adjacent genes in the cyanobacterium Pleurocapsa sp. CALU 1126

  • Published:
Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research

Abstract

The nucleotide sequences of the cell division gene ftsZ and adjacent genomic regions have been determined for the first time for cyanobacteria of the Pleurocapsa group (Pleurocapsa sp. CALU 1126). The comparison of this locus with the respective genomic regions of other cyanobacteria shows the differences in phylogeny retraced by different genes.
