Received on November 20, 1995; accepted on February 2, 1996 Twelve strains of phycoerythrin (PE)-rich unicellular cyanobacteria of the Synechococcus type were isolated from the pelagial of Lake Constance in different phases during the growth period of the year 1994. By analysing the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the DNA three new genotypes were distinguished. The persistence of one strain during the course of the year was demonstrated. The data set was compared with the RFLP observed in PE-rich Synechococcus strains isolated in former years from the same sampling site. The plurality in the picoplanktic isolates and the possibility of cultivation of strains is discussed with respect to the oligotrophication of Lake Constance.
