Abstract:
Taxonomic review of the filamentous, nostocacean, heterocytous cyanobacterial genus Anabaenopsis (WOOSZYSKA) MILLER 1923 is presented in the article, with respect to diversity of natural populations. The specific development of heterocytes is the main traditional generic character of Anabaenopsis. This genus is delimited by both phenotypic and molecular criteria according to the modern cyanobacterial classification, but the infrageneric diversity is problematic. Morphological characters are discussed and the ecological data are included. A list of Anabaenopsis-taxa from natural habitats with their basic characters should serve as a background for identification and morphological evaluation of diversity of this biologically and ecologically important genus.
