  1. *JGI, Joint Genome Research Institute; DOE, Department of Energy USA; WHOI, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; TIGR, The Institute for Genomic Research. The strain Prochlorococcus marinus SS 120 corresponds to Prochlorococcus marinus subsp. marinus str. CCMP 1375 and strain Prochlorococcus marinus MED 4 corresponds to Prochlorococcus marinus subsp.pastoris str. CCMP 1986 or CCMP 1378. Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 is synonymous to Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 as well as Anabaena cylindrica. N.d. = not detected.
