Note:
The taxa included in the phylum or division "Cyanobacteria" have not been validly published under the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision) except (i) the classes Chroobacteria, Hormogoneae and Gloeobacteria; (ii) the orders Chroococcales, Gloeobacterales, Nostocales, Oscillatoriales, Pleurocapsales and Stigonematales; (iii) the families Prochloraceae and Prochlorotrichaceae, and (iv) the genera Halospirulina, Planktothricoides, Prochlorococcus, Prochloron, Prochlorothrix.
The species Crinalium epipsammum De Winder et al. 1991 and Microcystis aeruginosa Otsuka et al. 2001 are validly published but they are illegitimate.
