91458788FF95070AFF5E41F03A3484A1.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The generic epithet “ Aerofilum ” is derived from Aero Greek for ‘ air’ as the strain possesses gas vesicles (aerotopes) and filum Greek for ‘ filament’.	en	Chakraborty, Sandeep, Maruthanayagam, Veerabadhran, Achari, Anushree, Pramanik, Arnab, Jaisankar, Parasuraman, Mukherjee, Joydeep (2021): Aerofilum fasciculatum gen. nov., sp. nov.

91458788FF95070AFF5E474C3B5486DD.taxon	description	Description Thallus blue-green, growth pattern appears like fascicles or bundles rather than forming a mat-like biofilm. Filaments isopolar, uniseriate, unbranched, cells slightly longer than their width, cell length ranged from 1.4 - 2.1 µm and width 0.9 - 1.1 µm. Cross walls have distinct constrictions. Trichomes were cylindrical, immotile, no heterocyte or akinete. Small sized filaments known as hormogonia helps in propagation. Necridic cells present. Ultrastructure includes parietal thylakoids, aerotopes present.	en	Chakraborty, Sandeep, Maruthanayagam, Veerabadhran, Achari, Anushree, Pramanik, Arnab, Jaisankar, Parasuraman, Mukherjee, Joydeep (2021): Aerofilum fasciculatum gen. nov., sp. nov.

91458788FF95070AFF5E474C3B5486DD.taxon	materials_examined	Holotype (designated here): Holotype (AP 3 b) deposited and cryopreserved in the Microbial Culture Collection (MCC), India having accession number MCC 3478. Type locality: Lothian island (21.39.1 N 88.19.37 E) of the Indian Sundarbans, India.	en	Chakraborty, Sandeep, Maruthanayagam, Veerabadhran, Achari, Anushree, Pramanik, Arnab, Jaisankar, Parasuraman, Mukherjee, Joydeep (2021): Aerofilum fasciculatum gen. nov., sp. nov.

91458788FF95070AFF5E474C3B5486DD.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The specific epithet ‘ fasciculatum’ reflects the growth pattern of the strain appearing to grow as a cluster or fascicles instead of forming a mat-like biofilm.	en	Chakraborty, Sandeep, Maruthanayagam, Veerabadhran, Achari, Anushree, Pramanik, Arnab, Jaisankar, Parasuraman, Mukherjee, Joydeep (2021): Aerofilum fasciculatum gen. nov., sp. nov.

91458788FF950709FF5E452838A681C3.taxon	description	Description Thallus greenish in color, forming a mat-like biofilm. Filaments typically unbranched, straight, isopolar, attached to the soil surface (mainly sub-aerophytic) growing as an extensive mat-like biofilm. Cells of the intermediate trichome were larger in size than the cells towards apex, cells much longer than wide, cellular dimensions 1.1 - 1.6 µm (length) and 0.4 - 0.5 µm (width), mucilaginous sheath absent, cell contents homogeneous, green without any granulated appearance, aerotopes absent. No heterocytes and akinetes. Cell division takes place by asymmetrical binary fission. Reproductive propagation by the help of hormogonia.	en	Chakraborty, Sandeep, Maruthanayagam, Veerabadhran, Achari, Anushree, Pramanik, Arnab, Jaisankar, Parasuraman, Mukherjee, Joydeep (2021): Aerofilum fasciculatum gen. nov., sp. nov.
