Taxonomic remark Names of Cyanobacteria have traditionally been governed by the botanical Code (ICN) although bacteriologists also apply the Bacteriological Code; the present situation is unresolved, refer Oren & Ventura, 2017. As at 2019, IRMNG follows the botanical Code for generic names with taxonomic treatment following Komárek et al., 2014 in the first instance. [details]
