Abstract

Molecular analyses employing sequencing of the complete ribosomal RNA cistron (18S rDNA, ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, ITS2, and 28S rDNA) and transcriptome analysis of the RuBisCO gene (rbcL) were done on Chlorella vulgaris UTEX 2714. The constructed phylogenetic trees showed that C. vulgaris UTEX 2714 is Chlorella sorokiniana. Growth analysis and production of chlorophyll a over a range of increasing cultivation temperatures (27–40 °C) showed that this strain is far less thermotolerant in comparison to a common C. sorokiniana strain. A change in the taxonomic designation of strain UTEX 2714 is proposed.
