Chlorococcum turfosum comb. nov. (Volvocales, Chlorophyceae) and visualization of chimeric sequences

SUMMARY Parachlorococcum turfosum was previously described based on morphological studies of a culture collection strain originally identified as ‘ Chlorococcum elkhartiense ’ and on an 18S r RNA gene phylogeny of a strain derived from the same original strain but from a different culture collection. However, a subsequently published 18S r RNA gene sequence was inconsistent with the original sequence. Therefore, a new 18S r RNA gene sequence was...
