Trichodesmium erythraeum
Trichodesmium is a genus of cyanobacteria that is found in tropical and subtropical ocean waters with low nutrient levels. Trichodesmium erythraeum is a species of the Trichodesmium genus that occurs as filaments of 20-200 cells. These filaments often congregate with Trichodesmium thiebautii to form larger colonies called blooms that can be seen by the naked eye (Karl 2002). Because Trichodesmium is able to form such large structures, it has been observed in oceans long before being isolated in laboratories - Source
