But if the membrane is broken, it is not safe for humans to eat, said Steele. It is, however, still good for the compost bin. "The calcium in the shell is great for the soil," she said.
[6] [5] The individual vegetative cells that form Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are cylindrical and elongated. Each cell is composed of hyaline. [5] Aphanizomenon flos-aquae forms typically bent trichomes that are grouped into fascicles up to 2 cm (0.79 in) long. [6] These trichomes can also be found as single free-floating units. [5]
