A summary of the 16 different cyanobacterial strains considered in this study. Given is the respective abbreviation, type of the cyanobacterial species which is based on their type of RuBisCO [41], genome size (Mb), C+G content, the number of identified genes and the percentage of coding DNA according to IMG database [42], the ability of the strain to fixate nirtrogen, habitat and cell arrangement. Within the column for habitat marine strains are marked by an M, fresh water by an F, thermophile strains are marked by a T. Cell arrangement is subdivided in single cells (S) and filamentous cell arrangement (F). The division of the strains into different subsections is according to [43].
