Growth characteristics of ten thermophilic cyanobacterial strains were evaluated in crossed gradients of temperature (12 - 40 °C) and light (7 - 80 W m-2). The most thermophilic and high-light tolerant strain was Synechococcus bigranulatus strain Lukavský 2005/66; the second was Chroococcidiopsis thermalis strain Hindák 2008/9, and Isocystis sp. strain Hindák 2006/1. The temperature requirements of other strains were similar; the least thermophilic were both Slovakian strains of the genus Hapalosiphon. Growth was not limited below 80 W m−2, except for H. fontinalis strain Hindák 2008/3, which prefers lower irradiance. Hapalosiphon delicatulus strain Hindák 2007/20 was rather mesophilic than thermophilic and shade–preferring. Ecologically similar strains originated from the same or nearby localities.
