Nucleotide sequences of 16S rRNA genes of these strains were analyzed. Peculiar features of strains’ growth under different environmental conditions were revealed. As a result, isolated picocyanoprokaryota were referred to genera Synechococcus and Cyanobium. The latter has not been recorded in Lake Baikal. %8 2011-05-02
