Six Limnothrix strains, isolated for the first time from a shallow eutrophic lake in central China, were taxonomically and phylogenetically evaluated by investigating their polyphasic characteristics, including morphological features, cellular ultrastructures, and 16S rRNA gene sequences. All the six strains were morphologically similar, and their trichomes were in average 1.7 mu m wide and cells 4.0 mu m long, and having small gas vesicles within cells, and therefore identified as Limnothrix planctonica (Woloszynska) Meffert. Cellular ultrastructures of them showed that peripheral thylakoids with 3-5 parallel layers were parietally distributed in the cells. The phylogenetic results based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that all the Limnothrix strains, including the six in this study and those from the Genbank, formed two distinct clusters. The similarity in 16S rDNA sequences between these two clusters was lower than 90%, indicating that these Limnothrix strains belong to different genera. This is the first report on the morphology and phylogeny of L. planctonica strains, providing the new information on taxonomy of the genus Limnothrix.
