Biology:Calothrix
From HandWiki
Calothrix is a genus of cyanobacteria. They are generally found in freshwater.[1]
Removed members
Some members of the genus such as Calothrix rhizosoleniae are endosymbionts of diatoms, providing a nitrogen-fixing function.[2] It is assigned by Bergey's to Richelia, which is closely related to this species (unlike the rest of Calothrix.[3][4]
GTDB Release 10-RS226 (16th April 2025) does not include Calothrix as a genus, opting to instead assign its members to other genera. No genomes of the type species are available.[5]
