Lyngbya is a genus of cyanobacteria, unicellular autotrophs that form the basis of the oceanic food chain. Lyngbya form long unbranching filaments inside a rigid mucilage sheath. Sheaths may form tangles or mats, intermixed with other phytoplankton species. Lyngbya reproduce asexually, their filaments break apart and each cell forms a new filaments. Some Lyngbya cause the human skin irritation called seaweed dermatitis.

  • Lyngbya is a genus of cyanobacteria, unicellular autotrophs that form the basis of the oceanic food chain. Lyngbya form long unbranching filaments inside a rigid mucilage sheath. Sheaths may form tangles or mats, intermixed with other phytoplankton species. Lyngbya reproduce asexually, their filaments break apart and each cell forms a new filaments. Some Lyngbya cause the human skin irritation called seaweed dermatitis. Some Lyngbya species can also temporarily monopolize aquatic ecosystems when they form dense floating mats in the water.
