J. Komarek et G. Cronberg, Some chroococcalean and oscillatorialean Cyanoprokaryotes from southern African lakes, ponds and pools, NOVA HEDWIG, 73(1-2), 2001, pp. 129-160
This article is the first part (Chroococcales and Oscillatoriales) of a stu
dy of little known planktic and metaphytic cyanoprokaryotes (cyanophytes, c
yanobacteria) from ponds, lakes and water reservoirs in southern Africa. Th
irty-three species were observed, of which 24 are presented with comments.
Ten new species are defined, and one species, originally described as a tax
onomic form, is recombined to the specific level. Our results demonstrate t
he specificity of southern African cyanobacterial microflora.
