Taxonomic History and State of Knowledge of the Marine Species in Nostocales (Cyanoprokaryote) From the Mexican Atlantic.

ABSTRACT: Cyanoprokaryotes are organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. One of the most diverse orders is Nostocales, whose species are characterized by the presence of heterocytes. Phycofloristic lists in the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Caribbean have secondarily recorded cyanoprokaryotes. Particularly in Mexico, 1123 species have been recorded, of which only 164 correspond to marine environments. An exhaustive review of the literature on the order Nostocales from the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Caribbean was carried out. The list of species was updated taxonomically. Furthermore, the historical analysis of their taxonomy was carried out by consulting the literature corresponding to the starting point established in Bornet and Flahault (1886-1888), as well as previous and later works t
