“…The systematic research on Greek Cyanobacteria started in the 1980s with a series of publications on cyanobacterial taxonomy and species composition (Anagnostidis and Economou-Amilli 1978, Anagnostidis and Economou–Amilli 1980, Anagnostidis et al 1981, Anagnostidis et al 1982, Overbeck et al 1982, Anagnostidis et al 1983, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1985, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988b, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988c, Hindak and Moustaka 1988, Anagnostidis et al 1988a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991b, Anagnostidis and Roussomoustakaki 1991, Tryfon 1996), as well as on population dynamics (Moustaka-Gouni 1988, Moustaka-Gouni and Nikolaidis 1990, Moustaka-Gouni and Nikolaidis 1992, Tafas and Economou-Amilli 1997, Tryfon et al 1997, Montesanto et al 1999, Moustaka-Gouni et al 2000, Temponeras et al 2000, Vardaka et al 2000) regarding both the freshwater and marine waterbodies. The recent research on cyanobacterial diversity in Greece comprises polyphasic or multidisciplinary studies of cyanobacteria strains (Gkelis et al 2005b, Lamprinou et al 2011, Lamprinou et al 2013a, Lamprinou et al 2013b, Gkelis et al 2015b, Gkelis and Panou 2016, Bravakos et al 2016), natural populations (Moustaka-Gouni et al 2009, Moustaka-Gouni et al 2010, Papadimitriou et al 2013, Gkelis and Zaoutsos 2014, Gkelis et al 2014, Gkelis et al 2015a), as well as ecological works (e.g.…”

BackgroundThe checklist of Greek Cyanobacteria was created in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) that has resumed efforts to compile a complete checklist of species reported from Greece. This list was created from exhaustive search of the scientific literature of the last 60 years. All records of taxa known to occur in Greece were taxonomically updated.New informationThe checklist of Greek Cyanobacteria comprises 543 species, classified in 130 genera, 41 families, and 8 orders. The orders Synechococcales and Oscillatoriales have the highest number of species (158 and 153 species, respectively), whereas these two orders along with Nostocales and Chroococcales cover 93% of the known Greek cyanobacteria species. It is worth mentioning that 18 species have been initially described from Greek habitats. The marine epilithic Ammatoidea aegea described from Saronikos Gulf is considered endemic to this area. Our bibliographic review shows that Greece hosts a high diversity of cyanobacteria, suggesting that the Mediterranean area is also a hot spot for microbes.

“…The cyanobacteria (live and preserved samples) were examined using a light microscope and identified using taxonomic keys and bibliography of Huber-Pestalozzi (1938), Meffert (1987Meffert ( , 1988, Anagnostidis & Komarek (1988), Hindak & Moustaka (1988), Komarek & Anagnostidis (1989), Komarek (1991), Komarkova-Legnerova & Eloranta (1992) and Tryfon (1996). The abundance of cyanobacterial filaments and colonies was estimated using 2 cm3 sedimentation chambers, according to Utermohl (1958).…”

The temporal and spatial distribution of planktic cyanobacteria and some environmental parameters were studied in the shallow, urban Lake Kastoria, Greece from June 1996 to June 1997. Water temperature varied from 6–27 °C, pH from 7.5–8.9 and dissolved O2 concentration from 0.7–12 mg m‐3 10‐3. The mean annual Chl a concentration was 83 mg Chl a m‐3 indicative of the eutrophic‐hypertrophic state of the lake. Cyanobacterial biomass ranged from 11–238 g FW m‐3, constituting about 90% of the total phytoplankton biomass throughout the year. Cyanobacterial biomass was non‐uniformly distributed both vertically and horizontally from August to November 1996 and resulted mainly from the distribution of Microcystis. Seven cyanobacterial taxa were reported for the first time in Lake Kastoria. Six taxa were dominant: Microcystis aeruginosa, M. flos‐aquae, M. novacekii. Limnothrix redekei, Anabaena sp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. The dominant cyanobacterial taxa can be grouped on the basis of their distribution patterns (1) Microcystis species: maximum biomass occurring at pH > 8, temperature 12–17 °C, depth < 0.2 m; (2) Anabaena sp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii: maximum biomass at temperatures 23–26 °C; (3) Limnothrix redekei: maximum biomass at temperatures 6–27 °C. Usually, non‐uniform, vertical distributions of cyanobacterial biomass were associated with the formation of temperature, pH and O2 gradients. L. redekei was considered to be a key lake organism since it contributed up to 59% of the cyanobacterial biomass. Interestingly, three of the dominant cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa, Anabaena sp. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii belong to genera that include toxin‐producing species.
