Taxonomic remark From Sergeev et al., 2012: Difference of this genus from some other large cocoidal genera like Leiosphaeridia, Kheinjuasphaera or Myxococcoides is unclear. Considering probably polymorphic origin of all these taxa we prefere to keep it separately. Large spheroids of genus Phanerosphaerops could turn out to be either eukaryotic unicells or empty envelopes surrounding colonies of cyanobacteria, e.g. Eosphaeronostoc Sergeev, 1992. [details]
