The goal of the project was to characterize the cyanobacteria and anoxygenic phototropic bacteria that build benthic microbial communities or any other type of microbial organizations in hot springs, evaporative plains and marine bottoms at
Bahía Concepción, B.C.S., Mexico. The strains are preserved in liquid nitrogen (-196 °C) as monocyanobacterial cultures and are included in the CIBNOR microalgae collection.

The database, which belongs to SNIB, contains information on 8 records from 4 families, 7 genera and 8 species belonging to Leptolyngbya thermalis, Limnothrix amphigranulata, Oscillatoria limnetica, Phormidium rubrum, Phormidium okeni, Synechococcus cedrorum, Synechococcus elongatus y Synechocystis aquatilis.
