Pleurocapsales are one of the least understood groups of cyanobacteria in terms of molecular systematics and biochemistry. Considering the high number of cryptic taxa within the Synechococcales and Oscillatoriales, it is likely that such taxa also occur in the Pleurocapsales. The new genus described in our research is the first known pleurocapsalean cryptic taxon. It produces off-flavor and a large number of bioactive metabolites (n = 38) some of which can be toxic including four known microcystins. Using a polyphasic approach, we propose the establishment of the genus Odorella with the new species O. benthonica from material originally isolated from the California Aqueduct near Los Angeles.
从分子系统学和生物化学的角度来看，pleurocapsales 是最不被了解的蓝细菌群之一。考虑到 Synechococcales 和 Oscillatoriales 中存在大量隐生分类群，pleurocapsales 中也可能存在这样的分类群。我们在研究中描述的新属是第一个已知的 pleurocapsalean 隐生分类群。它产生异味和大量的生物活性代谢物（n=38），其中一些可能是有毒的，包括四种已知的微囊藻毒素。我们采用多相方法，建议建立 Odorella 属，新种 O. benthonica 来自最初从洛杉矶附近的加利福尼亚渡槽分离的材料。
