Cylindrospermum is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria found in terrestrial and aquatic environments.^[2] In terrestrial ecosystems, Cylindrospermum is found in soils, and in aquatic ones, it commonly grows as part of the periphyton on aquatic plants. The genus is heterocystous (nitrogen-fixing) cyanobacteria.^[3]
