Abstract

An edaphic, filamentous, nonheterocytous cyanobacterium was collected from the Etosha Pan, Namibia. Based on multilocus sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, beta and alpha subunits (cpcBA-IGS) of the phycocyanin operon and morphological and ecological features, we describe the new species Phormidium etoshii (Oscillatoriales). The taxon was differentiated from the phylogenetically closest taxa in morphological features and ecology. © Czech Phycological Society (2013).
