In alkaline soda lakes, concentrated dissolved carbonates establish productive phototrophic
microbial mats. Here we show how microbial phototrophs and autotrophs contribute to this …

A Chl f-containing filamentous cyanobacterium was purified from stromatolites and named
as Halomicronema hongdechloris gen., sp. nov. after its phylogenetic classification and the …

A total of 48 strains of thin, filamentous cyanobacteria in the Synechococcales were studed
by sequencing 16S rRNA, rpoC1, and rbcLX gene fragments. A subset of these were …

The volcanic and tectonic lakes of the eastern branch of the African Great Rift Valley are
exposed to multiple stressors and characterised by different levels of hydrological …

The taxonomic criteria for cyanobacteria were substantially changed with the introduction of
electron microscopy and molecular analyses. The system must be modified according to the …

Nostoc is a common and well-studied genus of cyanobacteria and, according to molecular
phylogeny, is a polyphyletic group. Therefore, revisions of this genus are urged in an attempt …

The genus Leptolyngbya Anagnostidis & Komárek (1988) was described from a set of
strains identified as 'LPP-group B'. The morphology within this group is not particularly …

Hot springs and saline-alkaline lakes of East Africa are extreme habitats regarding
temperature, or salinity and pH, respectively. This study examines whether divergent …

The problem of identification and evaluation of new described cyanobacterial taxa,
particularly of the genera established after molecular sequencing, is discussed. Numerous …

The saline-alkaline crater-lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte, Indian Ocean) is dominated by the
bloom-forming cyanobacterium Arthrospira. However, the rest of the phototrophic community …
