Calothrix parasitica is a heterocystous cyanobacterium in the family Rivulariaceae, characterized by tapering filaments with a basal heterocyst for nitrogen fixation. It grows epiphytically on other algae, macrophytes, or in biofilms on rocky substrates in freshwater and marine environments. The genus Calothrix is widespread in aquatic and terrestrial habitats where it plays a role in nitrogen input to ecosystems.
