Leptolyngbya margaretheana (G. Schmid) Anagnostidis and Komárek ( Fig. 5 )

Cells are 2-3 μm wide, 2-5 μm long, slightly elongated along trichome axis, blue-green. Sheaths are fine, colorless in field sample, but not observed in cultured samples ( Fig. 5 ). Cell content has 2­5 granules with one or two granules on either side of cross­walls.

Ecology: We collected this species from eutrophic reservoirs on June 29, 2015. This species was distributed in freshwater, found among Phormidium and Oscillatoria species, in tropical and subtropical wetland ( Komárek and Anagnostidis, 2005).

Distribution: Arctic: Svalbard (Spitsbergen) ( Matula et al., 2007); Australia and New Zealand: New Zealand ( Broady and Merican, 2012).

Site of Collection: Site 1
