Klamath AFA is a blue-green algae that has been harvested wild from Upper Klamath Lake since the 1980s and used as a dietary supplement. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Genome sequencing distinguished and named this isolate as Aphanizomenon flos-aquae MDT14a , [ 4 ] [ 5 ] distinct from other varieties of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae .

Oscillatoria is mainly blue-green or brown-green and is commonly found in watering-troughs. It reproduces by fragmentation forming long filaments of cells which can break into fragments called hormogonia. The hormogonia can then grow into new, longer filaments.
Blue green algae growing on the substrate of a fresh water aquarium. Although colloquially called algae, blue-green algae (BGA) is a type of cyanobacteria. It can present with several different colors. While there are many BGA species, the most common type found in aquaria is referred to as "slime algae".
Toxic Algal Bloom in an inlet of Blue Mesa Reservoir in Western Colorado. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) includes both toxic and non-toxic strains found in various global freshwater sources, with different varieties producing diverse compounds. [11] [12] The toxicity of A. flos-aquae has been reported in Canada, [13] Germany, [14] [15] and ...
This group of viruses includes the original cyanophage isolate that infected "blue-green algae". [ 13 ] [ 3 ] Cyanophages in this group are easy to isolate from the environment. [ 3 ] They carry short non-contractile tails and cause lysis of several species within three genera of cyanobacteria: Lyngbya , Plectonema and Phormidium . [ 3 ]
Microcystins—or cyanoginosins—are a class of toxins produced by certain cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae. [3] Over 250 [4] different microcystins have been discovered so far, of which microcystin-LR is the most common. Chemically they are cyclic heptapeptides produced through nonribosomal peptide synthases. [5]
Microcoils produced by electroplating copper on Spirulina bacteria. [1]Spirulina is a genus of cyanobacteria.It is not classed as algae, despite the common name of cyanobacteria being blue-green algae.
