Anabaena miniata is a small filamentous cyanobacterium forming short trichomes with spherical vegetative cells and differentiated heterocysts capable of nitrogen fixation. It is found in freshwater habitats including ponds, ditches, and slow-moving waters. Like other Anabaena species, it may form surface blooms under conditions of high temperature and nutrient enrichment.
