| Research Abstract |
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to the discrimination of gcnotypes in five species of Microcystis cyanobacteria. Strains of each group possessing the identical allozyme genotype gave similar RAPD patterns characterized by the respective group. On the other hand, any similarities in RAPD patterns were not observed among strains of which allozyme genotypes were different. A good accordance between the RAPD analysis and allozyme divergence indicated a high reliability of the both methods for discrimination of the affiliated group of Microcystis. Several amplified DNA fragments, which were expected as markers for a particular taxon with identical allozyme genotype, were also observed on the RAPD patterns. Genetic homogenieties of M.novacekii, M.viridis and M.wesenbergii were shown by RAPD analysis as well as allozyme genotypes. However, significant variations were observed in M.aeruginosa and M.ichthyoblabe in the levels of DNA and proteins (allozymes).
