Distribution Freshwater, planktic in lakes and ponds, often forming water blooms, widely distributed in temperate zones; Europe: Austria, Czech Republic, Den¬mark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, etc.; less recorded from tropical regions (revision of the genotype identity is necessary). Data from non-planktic biotopes (cells without gas vesicles) belong surely to other species (e.g., Hirano 1962).

Harmful effect The two taxa, P. rubescens and P. agardhii, which are variously considered a single or two species, both produce microcystins [details]

From regional or thematic species database
Description Trichomes mostly solitary, free-floating, up to 300 μm long, straight or somewhat curved, sometimes joined to blue-green or olive-green, microscopic, loose fascicles, occasionally forming benthic membranaceous coat (thallus), without sheaths, or very rarely and facultatively, especially in young stages, with fine sheaths. Trichomes (2.3) 4 - 6 (9.8) μm wide, immotile, not constricted (or very slightly constricted) at the granulated cross-walls, ± gradually attenuated at the ends. Cells shorter than wide or frequently isodiametric, up to 2x longer than wide (before division); cell content blue-green, with numerous aerotopes, without PE. Apical cells convex, sometimes bluntly-conical or ± pointed, sometimes with convex calyptra, rarely capitate. [details]

Distribution Freshwater, planktic in lakes and ponds, often forming water blooms, widely distributed in temperate zones; Europe: Austria, Czech Republic, Den¬mark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, etc.; less recorded from tropical regions (revision of the genotype identity is necessary). Data from non-planktic biotopes (cells without gas vesicles) belong surely to other species (e.g., Hirano 1962).
