Cells may remain joined in pairs following cell division. Cells pale blue-green, olive-green, or reddish; without gas vesicles; sometimes with granules. Cell division by binary fission, perpendicular to the longer axis, symmetrically or asymmetrically.<\/p>\n<h2>Ecology<\/h2>\n<p><em>Synechococcus nidulans<\/em> found in small waterbodies, mostly in temperate regions; <em>Synechococcus sigmoideus<\/em> common in nanoplankton of lakes; several species reported from soils, swamps, and littoral zones of lakes.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Johansen, J.
