Rhabdogloea gorskii is a colonial cyanobacterium forming elongated, rod-shaped cells arranged within a common mucilaginous matrix in freshwater plankton communities. It is found in lakes and reservoirs across temperate regions and contributes to phytoplankton diversity. Like other cyanobacteria, it can form blooms under eutrophic conditions when nutrient levels and temperatures are elevated.
