The List of Cyanobacteria (Coleofasciculales, Oscillatoriales, Pleurocapsales, Pseudanabaenales and Spirulinales) from the Mangrove Ecosystems: A Review from 1889 to 2020

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a taxonomic revision of the species composition of cyanobacteria in mangrove environments, representing the orders <i>Coleofasciculales, Oscillatoriales, Pleurocapsales, Pseudanabaenales</i> and <i>Spirulinales.</i> The authors consulted 64 research publications including national and international journals and books published from 1889 to 2020. A verified list of mangrove-associated cyanobacteria includes 196 species from 48 genera. The dominant order was <i>Oscillatoriales</i> (137 taxa), followed by <i>Pleurocapsales </i>(25 taxa), <i>Pseudanabaenales</i> (18 taxa), <i>Spirulinales</i> (7 taxa), <i>Coleofasciculales</i> (5 taxa) and <i>Geitlerinematales</i> (4 taxa). The dominant family was <i>Oscillatoriaceae</i> with 79 species followed by <i>Microcoleaceae</i> with 39 species, <i>Pseudanabaenaceae</i> with 18 species, <i>Gomontielleaceae </i>with 8 species, <i>Dermocarpellaceae, Hyellaceae, Xenococcaceae</i> and <i>Spirulinaceae</i> with 7 species each, <i>Geitlerinemataceae, Wilmottiaceae</i> and <i>Hydrococcaceae</i> with 4 species each, <i>Borziaceae</i> with 2 species and <i>Coleofasciculaceae</i> with 1 species.
