Phormidium is a common genus of cyanobacteria with a cosmopolitan distribution. This genus is in the family Oscillatoriaceae.[1] Species in this genus will produce a range of cyanotoxins. Under favorable conditions, Phormidium forms continuous and large mats, which are documented to harbor various species of bacteria or algae.[2]
As a result of recent genetic analyses, several new genera were erected from this genus, e.g. Potamolinea.[3]
