Cells are arranged within the strands, in one or more rows; mucilage fine and colorless, often diffuse; cells later irregularly arranged. Cells roughly spherical to slightly elongated; up to 4.5 \u03bcm in length\/diameter; no obvious gas vesicles or other prominent inclusions; pale blue-green, gray, or olive-green in color. Cell division perpendicular to long axis of the cell; daughter cells reach original size\/shape before next round of division.<\/p>\n<h2>Ecology<\/h2>\n<p>Mainly planktic, in oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes; one species endogloeic in mucilage of <em>Anabaena<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Johansen, J.
