Abstract  In this paper, kinds of sand samples were isolated from Huairou, Beijing, using the method of 96-well plate limited dilution,and preliminarily identified as Synechococcus based on their morphological features respectively. ITS regions of these three samples was amplified, cloned to sequenced and finally blasted against the GenBank to compare with the homolog genes from the different genera in Synechococcus. The construction of phylogenetic tree and genetic distance analysis suggested the three samples may belong to Microcoleus vaginatus or Microcoleus streenstrupii.
Key words:  biological soil crust      synechococcus      DNA identification
