#cyanobacteria__blue-green_algae predominantly photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms containing a blue pigment in addition to chlorophyll; occur singly or in colonies in diverse habitats; important as phytoplankton
supertype: eubacteria__eubacterium__truebacteria a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls; motile types have flagella
subtype: nostoc trichodesmium
member of: class_Cyanobacteria__Cyanophyceae__class_Cyanophyceae photosynthetic bacteria found in fresh and salt water, having chlorophyll a and phycobilins; once thought to be algae: blue-green algae
member of: division_Cyanophyta__Cyanophyta prokaryotic organisms sometimes considered a class or phylum or subkingdom; coextensive with the Cyanophyceae: cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
member of: division_Eubacteria one-celled monerans having simple cells with rigid walls and (in motile types) flagella
member of: kingdom_Monera__Monera prokaryotic bacteria and blue-green algae and various primitive pathogens; because of lack of consensus on how to divide the organisms into phyla informal names are used for the major divisions
