Synechococcus (images), Xenococcus (images), Microcoleus, Leptolyngbya, Plectonema, Symploca, Cyanothece (images), Pleurocapsa (images) and Nostoc. We also report the discovery of potentially free-living Prochloron (Prochloron & images). The other eubacterial isolates and clones clustered into seven phylogenetic groups: OP9, OP10, Marine A group, Proteobacteria (images), Low G+C Gram-positive, Planctomycetes (Plancomycetes & abstract & images) and Acidobacteria. We also demonstrate the presence of sequences corresponding to members of halophilic archaea of the divisions Euryarchaeota (images) and Crenarchaeota (Crenarchaeota & images) and methanogenic archaea of the order Methanosarcinales.
