Most community molecular studies of thermophilic cyanobacterial mats to date have focused on Synechococcus occurring at temperatures of ∼50-65°C. These reveal that molecular diversity exceeds that indicated by morphology, and that phylogeographic lineages exist. The moderately thermophilic and gener...
