Cyanobacteria, Bluegreen Algae
| Formerly classified as algae, cyanobacteria are abundant in most
habitats both on land and underwater. Single-celled species
include those responsible for toxic blooms while colonial species are
common on shallow reefs. Many are difficult to identify without
detailed microscopic examination by an expert.
