Terrestrial cyanobacteria dwelling on rocks and stone walls represent an important but still
understudied part of global biodiversity, despite their substantial importance to the …

The cyanobacteria are a diverse, ancient lineage of oxygenic, phototrophic bacteria.
Ubiquitous in nearly all ecosystems, the alpha‐level diversity of these organisms lags …

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 …

An unusual species of Leptolyngbya was isolated from tree bark by Marie Takačová in 1983.
Originally it was considered to be a Lyngbya species, but since revision of the Oscillatoriales …

Species currently classified within the cyanobacterial genus Microcoleus were determined to
fall into two distinct clades in a 16S rDNA phylogeny, one containing taxa within the …

Cyanobacteria are crucial ecosystem components in dryland soils. Advances in describing α–
level taxonomy are needed to understand what drives their abundance and distribution. We …

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 …

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

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 …
