Description:
Anabaenopsis elenkinii is a filamentous cyanobacterium found in freshwater environments. It forms unbranched trichomes of cylindrical cells with specialized heterocysts for nitrogen fixation and akinetes for survival. The cells are typically 3 to 6 micrometers in diameter and contain pigments for photosynthesis, giving them a blue-green color. This species contributes to primary production and nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems.
