Odorella benthonica gen. & sp. nov. (Pleurocapsales,Cyanobacteria): an odor and prolific toxin producer isolated from a California aqueduct

Abstract:Pleurocapsales are one of the least understood groups of cyanobacteria in terms of molecular systematics and biochemistry. Considering the high number of cryptic taxa within the Synechococcales and Oscillatoriales, it is likely that such taxa also occur in the Pleurocapsales. The new genus described in our research is the first known pleurocapsalean cryptic taxon. It produces off‐flavor and a large number of bioactive metabolites (n = 38) some of which can be toxic including four known microcystins. Using a polyphasic approach, we propose the establishment of the genus Odorella with the new species O. benthonica from material originally isolated from the California Aqueduct near Los Angeles.
Keywords:16S rRNA gene phylogeny  cryptic genus  microcystins     Odorella     off‐flavor  Pleurocapsales  secondary metabolites  toxins
