30年来，人们一直认为，一个单一的物种的蓝藻，Phormidium corallyticum，是体积占主导地位的组成部分的所有案件的黑带病（BBD）的珊瑚。蓝藻特异性16S rRNA基因引物和末端限制性片段长度多态性分析被用来确定这些BBD蓝藻在加勒比海和印度太平洋的珊瑚礁的系统发育多样性。这些分析表明，蓝细菌栖息的BBD细菌垫收集从加勒比海和印度太平洋海域属于至少三个不同的类群，尽管事实上，在每种情况下的珊瑚表现出类似的迹象和模式的BBD垫发展。
For 30 years it has been assumed that a single species of cyanobacteria, Phormidium corallyticum, is the volumetrically dominant component of all cases of black band disease (BBD) in coral. Cyanobacterium-specific 16S rRNA gene primers and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses were used to determine the phylogenetic diversity of these BBD cyanobacteria on coral reefs in the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific Seas. These analyses indicate that the cyanobacteria that inhabit BBD bacterial mats collected from the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific Seas belong to at least three different taxa, despite the fact that the corals in each case exhibit similar signs and patterns of BBD mat development.
