Marine unicellular Cyanobacteria of the Synechococcus group occupy an
important position at the base of the marine food web. They are abundant in the
world s oceans and as a result are major primary producers on a global scale and
one of the most numerous genomes on earth Synechococcus is the main
source of primary productin in oligotrophic, pelagic waters. Many genera of
Cyanobacteria thrive in nutrient-rich, eutrophic environments, and are, as such
considered indicators of eutrophication, which currently troubles many aquatic
ecosystems. Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102 is a motile strain that can
be grown in both natural and artificial seawater liquid media as well as on
plates and is amenable to biochemical and genetic manipulation. It dwells in the
