Abstract

The cyanobacterial symbionts in the fern 'Azolla' have generally been ascribed to either the 'Anabaena' or 'Nostoc' genera. By using comparisons of the sequences of the phycocyanin intergenic spacer and a fragment of the 16S rRNA, we found that the cyanobiont from an 'Azolla' belongs to neither of these genera.
