How do Oscillatoria reproduce?
oscillatoria reproduce by fragmentation they break into fragments called Hormogina it uses photosyntetsis to reproduce
How can anyone differentiate oscillatoria and lyngbya slides?
Lyngbya has a mucilaginous sheath through which it moves, oscillatoria doesn't.
Is oscillatoria autotrophic?
yes
What is oscillatoria?
The definition of oscillatoria is a genus of filamentous cyanobacterium that gets its name from the oscillation in its movement. It can conduct photosynthetic activities.
Do all Oscillatoria cells look alike or is there differentiation of certain cells within the filament?
No they do not, obviously and I'm going to tell Phommasasyy on you!
What eats oscillatoria?
nothing eats oscillatoria because it is toxic.
Why is Oscillatoria green?
Oscillatoria gets its naturally green color from Chlorophyll a.
What is the difference between nostoc anabaena and oscillatoria?
difference in oscillatoria and nostoc
What is the function of oscillatoria?
The function of oscillatoria is to produce oxegyn. They form thick mats.
Where is oscillatoria more active?
Oscillatoria is an organism known for its movement. Oscillatoria generally become more active when in sunlight, as well as having perfect conditions in watering troughs, for example.

How are Nostoc Anabaena oscillatoria and Gloeocapsa similar?
Nostoc Oscillatoria and Gleocapsa are all Cyanobacteria of the monera kingdom.
Is oscillatoria autotrophic?
yes
What is oscillatoria?

How does the size of lactobacillus compare with that oscillatoria and gloeocapsa?
Lactobacillus are smaller rod shaped bacteria compared to the cyanobacteria of oscillatoria and gloeocapsa.
Why does oscillatoria deserves it name?
Oscillatoria is a blue-green algae. It deserves its name, because it has slow, rhythmic oscillating motion.
