Biology:Phormidium

From HandWiki

Phormidium is a common genus of cyanobacteria with a cosmopolitan distribution. This genus is in the family Oscillatoriaceae.[1] Species in this genus will produce a range of cyanotoxins. Under favorable conditions, Phormidium forms continuous and large mats, which are documented to harbor various species of bacteria or algae.[2]

As a result of recent genetic analyses, several new genera were erected from this genus, e.g. Potamolinea.[3]

Species

83, including

  • Phormidium ambiguum
  • Phormidium allorgei
  • Phormidium aerugineo-caeruleum
  • Phormidium lucidum
  • Phormidium subfuscum[4]

Moved:

  • Phormidium africanum → Leptolyngbya africana[5]
  • Phormidium formosum → Kamptonema formosum[6]
