  abstract = {{T}he saline-alkaline crater-lake {D}ziani {D}zaha ({M}ayotte, {I}ndian {O}cean) is dominated by the bloom-forming cyanobacterium {A}rthrospira. {H}owever, the rest of the phototrophic community remains underexplored because of their minute dimension or lower biomass. {T}o characterize the phototrophic microorganisms living in this ecosystem considered as a modern analog of {P}recambrian environments, several strains were isolated from the water column and stromatolites and analyzed using the polyphasic approach. {B}ased on morphological, ultrastructural and molecular (16{S} r{RNA} gene, 18{S} r{RNA} gene, 16{S}-23{S} internal transcribed spacer ({ITS}) region and cpc{BA}-{IGS} locus) methods, seven filamentous cyanobactena and the prasinophyte {P}tcocystis salinarum were identified. {T}wo new genera and four new cyanobacteria species belonging to the orders {O}scillatoriales ({D}esertifilum dzianense sp. nov.) and {S}ynechococcales ({S}odalinema komareku gen. nov., sp. nov., {S}odaleptofyngbya stromatolitii gen. nov.., sp. nov. and {H}aloleptolyngbya elongata sp. nov.) were described. {T}his approach also allowed to identify {A}rthrospira fusiformis with exclusively straight trichomes instead of the spirally coiled form commonly observed in the genus. {T}his study evidenced the importance of using the polyphasic approach to solve the complex taxonomy of cyanobactena and to study algal assemblages from unexplored ecosystems.},
