(type species {P}antanalinema rosaneae sp. nov.) has sheaths and trichomes with slight gliding motility, which distinguish this genus from {A}lkalinema gen. nov. (type species {A}lkalinema pantanalense sp. nov.), which possesses trichomes arranged in an ornate (interwoven) pattern. 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequences of strains of {P}antanalinema and {A}lkalinema exhibited low identity to each other (<= 91.6%) and to other sequences from known pseudanabaenacean genera (<= 94.3 and 93.7 %, respectively). {I}n a phylogenetic reconstruction, six sequences from strains of {P}antanalinema and four from strains of {A}lkalinema formed two separate and robust clades (99 % bootstrap value), with the genera {O}culatella and {P}hormidesmis, respectively, as the closest related groups. 16{S}-23{S} r{RNA} intergenic spacer sequences and secondary structures of strains of {P}antanalinema and {A}lkalinema did not correspond to any previous descriptions. {T}he strains of {P}antanalinema and {A}lkalinema were able to survive and produce biomass at a range of p{H} (p{H} 4-11) and were also able to alter the culture medium to p{H} values ranging from p{H} 8.4 to 9.9. {T}hese data indicate that cyanobacterial communities in underexplored environments, such as the {P}antanal wetlands, are promising sources of novel taxa.}, keywords = {{BRESIL}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{I}nternational {J}ournal of {S}ystematic and {E}volutionary {M}icrobiology}, volume = {65}, numero = {1}, pages = {298--308}, ISSN = {1466-5026}, year = {2015}, DOI = {10.1099/ijs.0.070110-0}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010064691}, }
