Abstract
The traditional cyanobacterial genus Anabaena is heterogeneous, as follows from the modern molecular evaluation. The cluster of planktic Anabaena-morphotypes with gas vesicles in cells must be separated as a unique generic entity from the typical benthic mat-forming species. In the present articles all planktic morphospecies are transferred into the new genus in agreement with Botanical nomenclatoric rules. The name Dolichospermum is based on a taxonomic category of section in starting point publication (B ornet & f la H ault 1888), which is valid for heterocytous cynobacteria.
