Phenotypic plasticity of colony morphology in Fischerella. Growth stages of Fischerella muscicola PCC 7414 (a), and Fischerella thermalis PCC 7521 (b). When grown in BG11o, Fischerella species show the true-branching phenotype (left panel), whereas the culture under 10 mM sucrose resulted in non-branched filaments (right panel). Hormogonia are marked with white arrows. All cultures were grown at 37 °C and a light intensity of 30 μmol/m2 s1
