Spyros Gkelis1, Iordanis Ourailidis1, Manthos Panou1, Nikos Pappas1.   

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The checklist of Greek Cyanobacteria was created in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) that has resumed efforts to compile a complete checklist of species reported from Greece. This list was created from exhaustive search of the scientific literature of the last 60 years. All records of taxa known to occur in Greece were taxonomically updated. NEW INFORMATION: The checklist of Greek Cyanobacteria comprises 543 species, classified in 130 genera, 41 families, and 8 orders. The orders Synechococcales and Oscillatoriales have the highest number of species (158 and 153 species, respectively), whereas these two orders along with Nostocales and Chroococcales cover 93% of the known Greek cyanobacteria species. It is worth mentioning that 18 species have been initially described from Greek habitats. The marine epilithic Ammatoidea aegea described from Saronikos Gulf is considered endemic to this area. Our bibliographic review shows that Greece hosts a high diversity of cyanobacteria, suggesting that the Mediterranean area is also a hot spot for microbes.

Introduction

The history of natural science is directly linked to Greek civilization, since the older written references to plants, animals, and are found in the Homeric Epics dating back to the 8th century BC; the first record of in the Western literature appears in Homer’s Iliad: “the dark waves uprear their heads and scatter their sea-wrack (phycos) in all directions” [Iliad IX.1 translated by Batler (1998)]. The Greek philosopher, and first marine biologist, Aristotle, who has established scientific knowledge for many animal and plant taxa (see Voultsiadou 2007) reported “red snow” in 4th century BC: “after lying for some time, snow turns slightly red” (Historia Animalium 552b8 translated by Peck 1970); this is considered as one of the oldest records of snow [unicellular , like or according to Duval et al. (1999)]. In modern times, research on Greek microflora, included, started in the 20th century with the studies of freshwater by Stanković (1931) and Skuja (1937). In the subsequent two decades, no published work in microflora can be traced until the limnological survey by Ananiadis (1956). During the 1960s Konstantinos Anagnostidis performs two extensive studies of from thermal springs (Anagnostidis 1961) and sulphur-communities (Sulphuretum) in marine and freshwater habitats of Greece (Anagnostidis 1968). These taxonomic studies revealed the occurrence of a great number of taxa, led to the description of several new species (e.g. Anagnostidis, 2001; (Anagnostidis) Anagnostidis & Komárek, 1988; Anagnostidis, 1961; (Gomont) Anagnostidis, 2001; Anagnostidis in (Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988)), and were later widely used to establish the modern classification system of (Anagnostidis and Komárek 1985, Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988, Anagnostidis and Komárek 1990, Komárek and Anagnostidis 1986, Komárek and Anagnostidis 1989). Although a lot of the valuable taxonomic, ecological, and biogeographical information recorded in Anagnostidis' monographs is now contained in the “Süsswasserflora von Mitteleuropa” series (Komárek 2013, Komárek and Anagnostidis 1999, Komárek and Anagnostidis 2005, Komárek 2013), many details of his work remain unavailable to the broader scientific community since they were published in Greek. The systematic research on Greek started in the 1980s with a series of publications on cyanobacterial taxonomy and species composition (Anagnostidis and Economou-Amilli 1978, Anagnostidis and Economou–Amilli 1980, Anagnostidis et al. 1981, Anagnostidis et al. 1982, Overbeck et al. 1982, Anagnostidis et al. 1983, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1985, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988b, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988c, Hindak and Moustaka 1988, Anagnostidis et al. 1988a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991a, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991b, Anagnostidis and Roussomoustakaki 1991, Tryfon 1996), as well as on population dynamics (Moustaka-Gouni 1988, Moustaka-Gouni and Nikolaidis 1990, Moustaka-Gouni and Nikolaidis 1992, Tafas and Economou-Amilli 1997, Tryfon et al. 1997, Montesanto et al. 1999, Moustaka-Gouni et al. 2000, Temponeras et al. 2000, Vardaka et al. 2000) regarding both the freshwater and marine waterbodies. The recent research on cyanobacterial diversity in Greece comprises polyphasic or multidisciplinary studies of strains (Gkelis et al. 2005b, Lamprinou et al. 2011, Lamprinou et al. 2013a, Lamprinou et al. 2013b, Gkelis et al. 2015b, Gkelis and Panou 2016, Bravakos et al. 2016), natural populations (Moustaka-Gouni et al. 2009, Moustaka-Gouni et al. 2010, Papadimitriou et al. 2013, Gkelis and Zaoutsos 2014, Gkelis et al. 2014, Gkelis et al. 2015a), as well as ecological works (e.g. Lamprinou et al. 2009, Katsiapi et al. 2011, Katsiapi et al. 2012). Despite the increased research efforts, knowledge of diversity and distribution of in Greece is still inconsistent since no list on local cyanobacterial flora has ever been published. Modern biodiversity research faces an ever increasing rate of data generation and efforts are made to structure, aggregate, link and process these data in a meaningful way (Koureas et al. 2016). Currently, the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an initiative launched by the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI), is resuming efforts to compile a database of all species reported from Greece; a prerequisite for GTIS is to have checklists for each taxonomic group (Bailly et al. 2016). The aim of this study is to create a checklist of cyanobacterial taxa inhabiting the area of Greece on the basis of the recent taxonomic revisions.

Materials and methods

The Checklist of Greek was created in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) that has resumed efforts to compile a complete checklist of all species reported from Greece (Bailly et al. 2016). In that publication, a methodology is described to produce Preliminary Checklists only. However, in the present case of , the status of the list for Greece was quite advanced, and the recent primary literature was exhaustively searched for this work; the present list is thus considered as an updated, annotated, and archived checklist. The data for this study were collected through extensive search in the scientific literature of the last 60 years. The search was performed in Scopus and Web of Science using the keywords: Greece AND , Greece AND phytoplankton, Greece AND cyanoprokaryota, Greece AND blue-green . Furthermore, the two exhaustive monographs by Anagnostidis (Anagnostidis 1961, Anagnostidis 1968) were studied and the cyanobacterial taxa were recorded. All geographical areas of Greece and all biomes (freshwater, marine, terrestrial, caves etc.) and biotic forms (planktic, benthic, periphytic, endolithic, epizoic etc.) were considered. The taxonomic status of the recorded cyanobacterial taxa was checked and updated, where necessary, to the currently accepted taxonomically species using Komárek and Anagnostidis (1999), Komárek and Anagnostidis (2005), Komárek (2013), and the AlgaeBase (Guiry and Guiry 2016). The species were classified to suprageneric taxa according to the latest taxonomic revisions on the basis of polyphasic methods (Komárek et al. 2014, Komárek 2016). Not valid species, species of unclear taxonomic status, and species transferred to other phyla were excluded from the list. Also, infraspecific taxa that are not valid or need revision were not included in the list. The first publication mentioning a taxon's occurrence in Greece and the original name used in that record is given under Notes and Nomeclature, respectively.

Data resources

The data collected were published in Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) through the Integrated Publishers Toolkit (IPT) according to the Darwin Core Archive biodiversity informatics data standard and are made publicly available through GBIF (UUID: 655027fc-76ea-447a-a443-f36dd2e853d7, DOI: 10.15468/lkj0mr).

Discussion

A thorough review of the relevant literature revealed that 543 species of have been reported up to date from Greece. The species recorded from this area are classified in 130 genera and 41 families, all of the 8 orders of the class (Komárek et al. 2014) being represented. In this checklist we have not included 85 infraspecific taxa mostly from the genera , , , , and recorded in several habitats such as gulfs, waterfalls, caves, and lakes by Anagnostidis (Anagnostidis 1961, Anagnostidis 1968). In the genus numerous taxa were described, which do not belong to this genus (Komárek 2013). Among the formae described by Anagnostidis, some are subject to revision [e.g. is "surely not , as it is morphologically similar to " according to Komárek (2013)]. The great morphological variability of this chroococcalean and nostocalean species should be further investigated in the future. A number of species reported in Greece were found to be of not valid or of uncertain taxonomic status: The species is possibly a species and needs revision (Komárek and Anagnostidis 2005). The species sensu Anagnostidis et al. (1983), probably belongs to the and into the genus (Komárek and Anagnostidis 2005) according to its trichome structure. The taxon found in Lake Volvi (Hindak and Moustaka 1988) is not included either in the volume of Süsswasserflora von Mitteleuropa (Komárek and Anagnostidis 1999) nor in the AlgaeBase (Guiry and Guiry 2016); Algaebase contains only two valid varieties: Nash and Hansgirg. Kützing found in Nigrita hot springs (Anagnostidis 1961) is currently regarded as a taxonomic synonym of the chlorophyte (Kützing) I.Kostikov, T.Darienko, A.Lukesová, & L.Hoffmann (Guiry and Guiry 2016). The taxon found in microbial bioerosion at an underwater marine site in Peloponnese (Färber et al. 2015) belongs to ichnotaxa produced by unknown heterotrophic organisms (Heindel et al. 2009), not . The remaining 17 species belong to the family ; this family, consisting of the genera , , , and , was created to accommodate some colorless with multicellular filaments (trichomes), which were observed in hypolimnia of lakes and ponds or in sulfur springs (Hirsch 1981). At present, members of this family are considered unclassified below the Kingdom level (Guiry and Guiry 2016). It is worth mentioning that 18 of the species included in the list have been initially described from Greek habitats. The marine epilithic described from Saronikos Gulf (Aegean Sea) (Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991a) is considered endemic to this area (Komarek and Anagnostidis 2005). Interestingly, most of these new species were found in rarely sampled habitats, such as caves [e.g. , (Lamprinou et al. 2011)], marine coastal rocks [e.g. epilithic (Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991b) or endolithic and (Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1985, Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1988c)], archaeological sites [e.g. aerophytic, chasmoendolithic (Anagnostidis and Pantazidou 1991b)], heliothermal saltwork mats [ (Anagnostidis and Roussomoustakaki 1991)], and waterfalls [ (Skuja 1937)], highlighting the need for further research to reveal the unknown diversity in these environments. A recent study by Bravakos et al. (2016) on strains isolated from mats of thermal springs of Greece indicates at least six new taxa at the genus level. Furthermore, Konstantinou et al. (2016) report possible new species on strains isolated from marine sponges from the Aegean Sea, thus corroborating the abundant diversity of lesser-known environments. To the best of our knowledge, the list of Greek compiled for the needs of the present study is the first list of both freshwater and marine in the Mediterranean. There is another list presenting 327 species from Israel (Tsarenko et al. 2000), but this refers only to the continental part of that country. The Egyptian list (Nassar 2014) contains 19 species, whereas a phytoplankton checklist from the Eastern Adriatic (Vilicic et al. 2002) contains no . Other local cyanobacterial lists were published in the past 15 years from continental parts of Europe, e.g. Slovakia, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic (Kaštovský et al. 2010 and references therein), as well as a checklist from the Baltic Sea reporting 172 cyanobacterial species (Hällfors 2004). The Czech Republic list comprises 505 species, 392 of which are considered recently present according to Kaštovský et al. 2010. The checklist of Nepal (Rai et al. 2011) presents 274 species. Therefore, it appears that Greece hosts a comparatively high diversity of , suggesting that the Mediterranean area is also a hot spot for the “substantially underestimated or unexplored” (Coll et al. 2010) microbes.
