Synechococcus
These unicellular cyanobacteria are also known as blue green algae and, along with
Prochlorococcus species, are responsible for a large part of the carbon fixation that occurs in marine environments.
Synechococcus have a broader distribution in the ocean and are less abundant in oligotrophic (low nutrient) regions than
Prochlorococcus. Some
Synechococcus strains have evolved unique motility systems, using spicules (long filaments) that extend from the cell surface and act like oars during movement. (Source: NCBI genome project page)

This strain is isolated from Sargasso Sea None.
This organism is a member of clade VII. Genotypes of this clade have been detected in open ocean environments in the Indian Ocean (Arabian Sea), and Pacific Ocean. Microdiversity observed within the genus lends itself as a key organism for genomic studies
