Environment This cyanobacterium produces irregular, packet-like colonies that form black mats, films and crusts. Based on analysis of algal samples from Punta Cierva (Antarctic Peninsula) and King George Island (South Shetland Islands), this taxon is widely distributed in coastal, deglaciated areas of the maritime Antarctic. It is an important, often dominating, ecotype, mostly colonising irrigated rocks but also found in a variety of other aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats under a wide range of conductivities, pH and nutrient regimes.
