Symplocastrum friesii is a filamentous cyanobacterium forming tightly coiled or spiral trichomes, found in freshwater habitats including lakes, ponds, and boggy environments. Its distinctive spiral morphology helps distinguish it from related genera. This species contributes to primary production in freshwater ecosystems and may form part of benthic mat communities on submerged substrates.

Symplocastrum muelleri is a filamentous cyanobacterium that forms tightly bundled, parallel trichomes enclosed in a common fibrous sheath. It inhabits freshwater environments and contributes to biofilm and mat communities. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
