Description Colonies mucilaginous, microscopic, more or less spherical, lenticular or feebly elongate, later macroscopic, irregular, lobate, distinctly elongate, usually (40)600-900(1000) μn, rarely up to 8 mm long, usually net-like clathrate with distinct holes, or composed of subcolonies, with irregular outline and with a large number of irregularly arranged and ± densely packed cells. Mucilage colourless, structureless, diffluent, sometimes forming a distinct, but not very wide margin around cells (usually to 5-8 μm). Cells spherical, sometimes slightly elongate before division, pale blue-green, with numerous aerotopes, (3?) 4-6 (9.4) μm in diameter. Rare nanocyte formation (?). Very polymorphic species, occurring in numerous modifications and seasonal status (Kondrateva 19686; Reynolds & al. 1981); the genetic diversity follows also from the isozyme analysis (Kato et al. 1991). Toxic populations and strains. [details]
Harmful effect Producer of microcystins. In Japan some strains with high amounts of microcystin-YR and small amounts of -LR, other strains mainly -RR. South African strain mainly -LA. [details]
