Species:
Nostoc is a genus of cyanobacteria found in various environments that forms colonies composed of filaments of moniliform cells in a gelatinous sheath.
Jean-Baptiste Édouard Bornet was a French botanist. The standard author abbreviation Bornet is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Scytonema is a genus of photosynthetic cyanobacteria that contains over 100 species. It grows in filaments that form dark mats. Many species are aquatic and are either free-floating or grow attached to a submerged substrate, while others species grow on terrestrial rocks, wood, soil, or plants. Scytonema is a nitrogen fixer, and can provide fixed nitrogen to the leaves of plants on which it is growing. Some species of Scytonema form a symbiotic relationship with fungi to produce a lichen.
Aulosira is a genus of cyanobacteria found in a variety of environmental niches that forms colonies composed of filaments of moniliform cells.
Wollea is a genus of filamentous, heterocystous cyanobacteria that form macroscopic colonies in freshwater habitats. The genus produces akinetes and is known to reproduce with hormogonia.
Gymnothamnion is a red alga genus in the family Wrangeliaceae.
