Limnococcus is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Chroococcaceae. [1]
The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution. [1]
Species: [1]
Lyngbya is a genus of cyanobacteria, unicellular autotrophs that form the basis of the oceanic food chain.
Botryococcus is a genus of green algae. The cells form an irregularly shaped aggregate. Thin filaments connect the cells. The cell body is ovoid, 6 to 10 μm long, and 3 to 6 μm wide. Fossils of the genus are known since Precambrian times, and form the single largest biological contributor to crude oil, and are a major component of oil shales.
Planktothrix is a diverse genus of filamentous cyanobacteria observed to amass in algal blooms in water ecosystems across the globe. Like all Oscillatoriales, Planktothrix species have no heterocysts and no akinetes. Planktothrix are unique because they have trichomes and contain gas vacuoles unlike typical planktonic organisms. Previously, some species of the taxon were grouped within the genus Oscillatoria, but recent work has defined Planktothrix as its own genus. A tremendous body of work on Planktothrix ecology and physiology has been done by Anthony E. Walsby, and the 55.6 kb microcystin synthetase gene which gives these organisms the ability to synthesize toxins has been sequenced. P. agardhii is an example of a type species of the genus. P. agardhii and P. rubescens are commonly observed in lakes of the Northern Hemisphere where they are known producers of potent hepatotoxins called microcystins.
Dendrocoelum is a genus of freshwater triclad. Over one hundred species have been described.
Vera Komarkova was a prominent Czech-American mountaineer and botanist. Credited as a pioneer of women's mountaineering, she was the first woman to summit Annapurna and Cho Oyu.
Komárek is a Czech surname meaning "little mosquito". Notable people include:
Karel Komárek is a Czech businessman worth $8.18 billion as of February 2023. He is one of the wealthiest Czech citizens and the founder of the investment company KKCG.
Woronichinia is a genus of cyanobacteria, belonging to the family Coelosphaeriaceae.
Anathece is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Synechococcaceae.
Eucapsis is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Merismopediaceae.
Gloeocapsopsis is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Chroococcaceae.
Aphanothece is a polyphyletic genus with 63 accepted species. The name is derived from the Greek words, ‘aphanes’ and ‘theke’ which mean “invisible" and “box or sheath” respectively. This genera is cosmopolitan, found in soils, thermal springs and other benthic, freshwater, marine, hypersaline, and moist terrestrial environments. Morphology can vary, with both microscopic and macroscopic colonies large enough to be collected and preserved in herbarium records.
Chroococcus is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Chroococcaceae.
Cuspidothrix is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Nostocaceae.
Dolichospermum is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Nostocaceae.
Heteroleibleinia is a genus of algae belonging to the family Pseudanabaenaceae.
Jaaginema is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Pseudanabaenaceae.
Komvophoron is a genus of cyanobacteria belonging to the family Borziaceae.
Agraphydrus is a genus of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae represented by 205 described species. It is distributed across the Afrotropical, Australasian, and Indomalayan realms.
