a

Genotype designations match those previously used in our laboratory: A and B are used to designate 16S rRNA genotypes associated with the A and B Synechococcus clades, respectively (primes are used to signify variants within these clades).

b

ITS genotypes are designated with NA for North America and Cy (for cyanobacterial sequence) and a number-letter combination (e.g., 05a, 10b) indicating unique genotype, as in reference 18. Please note that genotypes B″ and B‴ were referred to as genotypes B′-1diff and B′-2diff in reference 1.

c

Designations in boldface characters represent strains used in experiments examining relationships between temperature and light.

d

One base difference between these two variants exists outside the region for which there is data for ITS type NACy10b.

e

One base different in ITS from B″.
