Arthrospira: Difference between revisions

}}</ref> A 2019 analysis of ''Arthrospira'' species using [[16S ribosomal RNA|16S rRNA gene sequence]] suggests that certain species of this genus (''A.'' ''jenneri'') is much closer to ''[[Planktothrix]]'' [[Cladistics|clade]] than previously thought and lacks characteristics of mass produced species (such as preference of alkaline habitats). As a result, researchers proposed a new genus closer to ''Limnoraphis and Neolyngbya'' called '''''Limnospira''' comprising of [[L. fusiformis]], [[Arthrospira maxima|L. maxima]]'' and ''[[Arthrospira indica|L. indica]]''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Nowicka-Krawczyk |first=Paulina |last2=Mühlsteinová |first2=Radka |last3=Hauer |first3=Tomáš |date=2019-01-24 |title=Detailed characterization of the Arthrospira type species separating commercially grown taxa into the new genus Limnospira (Cyanobacteria) |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-36831-0 |journal=Scientific Reports |language=en |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=694 |doi=10.1038/s41598-018-36831-0 |issn=2045-2322 |pmc=6345927 |pmid=30679537}}</ref>
