A Phylogeny of ApcE2 marker sequences from Chroococcidopsis strains, or strains previously classified as such. Bullet points mark full-length proteins. There is a clear split between two branches, I and II, with the largest one (I) associated with Chroococcidiopsis sensu stricto. Type species Chroococcidiopsis thermalis PCC 7203 is listed in bold. B Distribution of FaRLiP in the genus Chroococcidiopsis sensu stricto (I). The 16S rRNA gene phylogeny includes strains which tested positive for apcE2 and/or strains with a known FaRLiP cluster (red). Most of them also survived under far-red light, except for a minority of non-axenic strains (CCALA 44, 47, 51, 52, 927). One strain tested negative for apcE2 and did not survive under FRL (black square). HPLC data showed the presence of chlorophylls d and f (circles) or only chlorophyll f, as reported in previous studies (triangles). Trees built with RaxML. Bootstrap values < 30 not shown.
