Cyanobacteria from the representative hot springs of Yunnan Province, China are explored for their diversity and community composition following an integrative approach of cultivation-independent and -dependent studies and further isolation of potential taxa for future biotechnological perspective. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of microbial mats in these hot springs with temperature ranging from 38 to 90°C revealed Cyanobacteria and Proteobacteria constituting a bounteous portion of the bacterial community. The combined approach of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and phenotypic analysis revealed the diversity of cyanobacteria (a total of 45 genera).
