a

Based on similarity data output from BLAST searches.

b

UC, uncultured.

c

HS, hot spring; *, Yellowstone National Park.

d

The first and second scores are BLAST maximum identity percentages and query coverage percentages, respectively.

e

G, green layer.

f

OS type I and P-like sequences were given their own category because they represent uncultured Synechococcus variants, despite genetic similarity to members of the Oscillatoriales (17, 53, 56).
