Microcystaceae is family of cyanobacteria which contains the harmful algal bloom Microcystis aeruginosa.[4]
Characteristics
[edit]The family is characterized by single, floating cells or colonies which are embedded to a matrix. There is also a lack of differentiation between apical and basal structures.[5]
