Ancestor:Descendants:

The kyanoses genus group replaced its ancestor, the plate kyanos, chain kyanos, star kyanos, kyanos and other cyan photosynthetic microbes. They are the base of many marine ecosystems and live where ever there is sunlight and flowing water, be it the ocean, rivers or lakes. Like its ancestors it absorbs magenta light with its cyan chloroplasts and reproduces via mitosis.

They range in size from 50 micrometers of individual cells to large colonies 150 micrometers long. They grow in large numbers where nutrients are abundant such as in rivers, lakes and wetlands. When in the ocean they mostly grow where nutrients are brought up from the deep oceans or near river deltas. In the autumn the major "blooms" occur which tint the water a cyan hue. They are completely immobile and must spread by flowing with the currents.
