Hello Maria. My main reference is Komarek's Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa, book 3. I have been working for many years in the US but was trained on algae taxonomy in France. I do use new genus names such as Dolichospermum and Cuspidothrix.

Hi Maria, the most complete and used is  Cyanoprocaryota Part 3. Heterocytous Genera of J.Komarek - SpringerSpektrum 2013 The species described are from all the world and with most actual information. The new genuses are described there as well.

Hi Maria, you can use Algaebase for the current accepted names of the cyanobacteria and other microalgae. Here is a link showing that website:
