Taxonomic revision of the freshwater cyanobacterium "Phormidium" murrayi = Wilmottia murrayi.
The cyanobacterial genus Phormidium is polyphyletic, as follows from recent molecular and phenotypic analyses. Several isolated clusters were found also in Antarctic populations. A few of them have already been described or revised on the generic level. One of the separate clusters belongs to a grou...
