Though morphology of the true branched cyanobacteria is indeed tough and there do exist differences of opinions but as I can see, even the phylogenetic information is equally confusing, probably more because of the wrongly identified strains. Is there any way out?
I mean when we can club together our findings and go ahead with solving this problem.
As far as I am concerned, compiled data/keys from starting with Desikachary (1959), Rippka et al. (1979) and Komarek (2013) Subwasserflora Von Mitteleuropa does not complicate the morphometric analysis as well as identification of such taxa you have mentioned. Does it really need clubbing together so many findings to identify only up to genus level? I think, No. These keys I have mentioned are enough for up to geneus level identification.
It is quite clear even from Komarek (2013) that a lot of revision is indeed needed.
Anyways thanks a lot for your answer.
