Nomenclatural notes
Generic description (validation) in Komárek et al., 2020: 184; type species Thermosynechococcus vestitus (Copeland) Komárek & Strunecky. - (12 April 2021) - G.M. Guiry
Invalid: no description or diagnosis, or selection of type. Only this statement is included: 'The authors propose to rename the thermophilic Synechococcus
elongatus to "Thermosynechococcus elongatus", because it is distantly
related with the mesophilic Synechococcus elongatus as described in
Materials and Methods. The nucleotide sequences in this paper have
been registered in the EMBL, GenBank and DDBJ under accession
number AB052597 and AB052598 with the new organism names
"Thermosynechococcus elongatus strain BP-1" and "Thermosynechococcus
vulcanus".' - (22 May 2013) - M.D. Guiry

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera,
organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA)
and intended to be published in CD format.
These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above.
The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.
Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
