Abstract

Presents results from 16S ribosomal RNA sequence comparisons which indicate the prochlorophytes are polyphyletic within the cyanobacterial radiation and suggest that none of the known species is specifically related to chlorplasts. Use of new sequences from the marine picoplankter Prochlorococcus marinus; More.
