Définition CISMeF : Planktothrix is a diverse genus of filamentous cyanobacteria observed to amass in
algal blooms in water ecosystems across the globe. Like all Oscillatoriales, Planktothrix
species have no heterocysts and no akinetes. Planktothrix are unique because they
have trichomes and contain gas vacuoles unlike typical planktonic organisms (source
