Ferredoxin from Aphanothece halophitica, a unicellular blue-green alga: close relationship to ferredoxins from filamentous blue-green algae and phylogenetic implications. 1983

T Hase, and K Inoue, and N Hagihara, and H Matsubara, and M M Williams, and L J Rogers

The amino acid sequence of a ferredoxin from a unicellular blue-green alga, Aphanothece halophitica, was established by the conventional methods. Total number of residues was 98 lacking only tryptophan. A most probable phylogenetic tree was constructed for 19 algal ferredoxins on the basis of an amino acid difference matrix made from the sequence comparison. A. halophitica has been classified as a unicellular blue-green alga in the same genus to which Aphanothece sacrum belongs, but the tree indicates A. halophitica ferredoxin to be very close to those of the members of filamentous blue-green algae. The tree divides prokaryotic and eukaryotic algal ferredoxins into several groups, suggesting that the ferredoxin phylogenetic tree reflects the evolutionary trails of various algae, which is also reflected in the structural characteristics, particularly in the presence of gaps. Other notable features are presented in considering algal taxonomy.

D000458 Cyanobacteria A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE.
