Colonies of globular and egg forms in a gelatinous structure. Blue green algae is a somewhat misleading term because the jelly-like forms consist of strands of cyanobacteria. Like plants, these bacteria use photosynthesis for cell construction; hence the green color. The large group of blue green algae or cyanobacteria, are among the oldest organisms on Earth (they have been around for 3.5 billion years), whose production of oxygen enabled the evolution of higher organisms.<br>\nDuring dry periods, the moist bladders shrivel into a thin layer of algal pulp.<br>\nSome blue green algae multiply explosively during high summer temperatures in nutrient-rich water, called &ldquo;algal blooms&rdquo;. In the process, they secrete toxins that are dangerous to fish, amphibians and swimmers.<br>\nNostoc belongs to the non-toxic species.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Where to find&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1608749147900{padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under humid conditions (rainy season, autumn) sometimes found on paths, stone walls, rocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102790165{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Control&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532165404849{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Control not necessary, nostoc poses no threat to plants.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102799994{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Prevention&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532165414573{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Does not apply.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"encyclopedia-category":[665],"encyclopedia-tag":[],"class_list":["post-13605","encyclopedia","type-encyclopedia","status-publish","hentry","encyclopedia-category-fungi-and-diseases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia\/13605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/encyclopedia"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13605"},{"taxonomy":"encyclopedia-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia-category?post=13605"},{"taxonomy":"encyclopedia-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/encyclopedia-tag?post=13605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
