LinksAlgae and cyanobacteria in fresh water - The term algae refers to microscopically small, unicellular organisms, some of which form colonies and thus reach sizes visible to the naked eye as minute green particles.

Cyanobacteria are organisms with some characteristics of bacteria and some of algae.
