Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

Cyanobacterial morphology refers to the form or shape of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are a large and diverse phylum of bacteria defined by their unique combination of pigments and their ability to perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria often live in colonial aggregates that can take a multitude of forms. Of particular interest among the many species of cyanobacteria are those that live colonially in elongate hair-like structures, known as trichomes. These filamentous species can contain hundreds to thousands of cells. They often dominate the upper layers of microbial mats found in extreme environments such as hot springs, hypersaline water, deserts and polar regions, as well as bei…

Cladoceran <i>Chydorus sphaericus</i> and Colonial Cyanobacteria: Potentially a Toxic Relationship?. Chydorus sphaericus is often a dominant cladoceran zooplankton species in water bodies experiencing harmful cyanobacterial blooms. However, its relationship with toxin-producing algae remains largely unexplored. In this study, the feeding behavior of C. sphaericus on colonial cyanobacteria and potentially toxic Microcystis was investigated in a temperate, shallow, eutrophic lake. Liquid chromatographic analyses of phytoplankton marker pigments in C. sphaericus gut content revealed that pigments characteristic of cyanobacteria (identified a zeaxanthin, echinenone, and canthaxanthi…
