Morphology, type of cell division, and differentiation
Subsection (order)*
1Dp66E-1
Unicellular, binary fission by constriction, cells sticks shaped 0.6–0.8 m wide and 1.5–2 m long, unsheathed.
I (Chroococcales)
2Dp86E
Filamentous, binary fission in one plane by septum formation, no cell differentiation, ensheathed, cells barrel or cylindrical shaped 1.5–2.5 m long and 1.0–1.5 m wide.
III (Oscillatoriales)
10Dp66E
Filamentous, binary fission in one plane by septum formation, cells round shaped 3.0–3.5 m in diameter and are able to differentiate hormogonia and intercalary heterocysts and akinetes. Vegetative trichomes have their own sheaths and are joined by colonial mucus.
IV (Nostocales)
Classification was performed according to Castenholz [25].
