<i>Parakomarekiella sesnandensis</i> gen. et sp. nov. (Nostocales, Cyanobacteria) isolated from the Old Cathedral of Coimbra, Portugal (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

In a study that aimed to fingerprint the phototrophic community of the biodeteriorated walls of the Old Cathedral of Coimbra (UNESCO World Heritage Site), an unknown Nostoc/Komarekiella-like cyanobacterium was isolated. We employed a polyphasic approach based on morphological, ecological and phylogenetic analyses of the partial 16S and the whole 16S-23S ITS rRNA regions to characterize this organism. Our strains shared 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99–100% with GenBank-assigned ‘Nostoc sp.’ sequences, and 98% similarity with the genera Goleter, Roholtiella, Aulosira and Komarekiella. Despite being morphologically similar to Komarekiella, phylogenetic analyses placed our strains in a separated genus-level clade, distant from Nostoc sensu stricto and with Komarekiella as the closest taxon. Considering all molecular, phylogenetic and ecological data, we here propose Parakomarekiella sesnandensis F.Soares, V.Ramos & A.Portugal, gen. et sp. nov.
