Aphanocapsa sideroderma é uma cianobactéria unicelular que forma agregados coloniais em bainhas gelatinosas com camadas externas incrustadas de ferro. Habita ambientes de água doce ricos em ferro, incluindo nascentes, córregos e zonas úmidas. Esta bactéria fotossintética produz energia por meio da fotossíntese oxigênica e contribui para a formação de biofilmes em substratos ricos em ferro.
