Chroococcales
The Chroococcales () are an order of cyanobacteria in some classifications which includes the harmful algal bloom ''Microcystis aeruginosa''. Molecular data indicate that Chroococcales may be polyphyletic A polyphyletic group is an assemblage of organisms or other evolving elements that is of mixed evolutionary origin. The term is often applied to groups that share similar features known as homoplasies, which are explained as a result of conver ..., meaning its members may not all belong to the same clade or have the same common ancestor. Characteristics The order is characterized by single, floating cells or colonies which are embedded to a matrix. Also, a lack of differentiation between apical and basal structures exists.

Atelocyanobacterium
''Candidatus'' ''Atelocyanobacterium thalassa'', also referred to as UCYN-A, is a diazotrophic species of cyanobacteria commonly found in measurable quantities throughout the world's oceans and some seas. Members of ''A. thalassa'' are spheroid in shape and are 1-2µm in diameter, and provide nitrogen to ocean regions by fixing non biologically available atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available ammonium that other marine microorganisms can use. Unlike many other cyanobacteria, the genome of ''A. thalassa'' does not contain genes for RuBisCO, photosystem II, or the TCA cycle. Consequently, ''A. thalassa'' lacks the ability to fix carbon via photosynthesis. Some genes specific to the cyanobacteria group are also absent from the ''A. thalassa'' genome despite being an evolutionary descendant of this group. With the inability to fix their own carbon, ''A. thalassa'' are obligate symbionts that have been found within photosynthetic picoeukaryote algae. Most notably, the UCYN- ...
