Aphanothece

Aphanothece

Small elongated cells, 3-8um long, embedded loosely in transparent structureless mucilage, mostly on wet rocks and in boggy pools. A similar genus but with round cells is Aphanocapsa. Synechococcus is another genus which has single cells like those of Aphanothece ( not in colonies ). Part of a colony of Aphanothece is shown.
