Unicellular cyanobacteria constitute a substantial, ecologically important part of freshwater
and marine microflora. Solitary, elongated cyanobacterial cells without apparent slime …

Cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus are major contributors to global primary
productivity and are found in a wide range of aquatic ecosystems. This Synechococcus …

The genus Synechococcus represents an enigmatic group of cyanobacteria with very simple
unicellular morphology and polyphyletic evolutionary origin. Here, we describe a new genus …

The systematics of single‐celled cyanobacteria represents a major challenge due to
morphological convergence and application of various taxonomic concepts. The genus …

The taxonomy of cyanobacteria has been substantially modified in the last few decades,
particularly after application of modern ultrastructural and molecular methods. The group of …

Conserved markers such as the 16S rRNA gene do not provide sufficient molecular
resolution to identify spatially structured populations of marine Synechococcus, or 'ecotypes' …

Synechococcus is among the most important contributors to global primary productivity. The
genomes of several strains of this taxon have been previously sequenced in an effort to …

Thermosynechococcus is a genus of thermophilic unicellular cyanobacteria that are
dominant in microbial mats at about 50–65° C in alkaline hot springs of eastern Asia. We …

Little is known about the taxonomic diversity of cyanobacteria in deserts, despite their
important ecological roles in these ecosystems. In this study, cyanobacterial strains from the …

Marine microbial communities often contain multiple closely related phylogenetic clades, but
in many cases, it is still unclear what physiological traits differentiate these putative …
