[1] Genera - plural of genus, a category of classification in biology that ranks between the family level and the species level. Because there are many different species of bacteria that are difficult to distinguish, it is more useful to classify bacteria by genus rather than species.

Bloom Description
Volunteer reported: Observed from the MV Teal as we were riding north to store the boat for the winter in Cayuga. We encountered the bloom in the middle of the lake for about a half mile or so. It may have been more widespread, but we traveled through it in a few minutes. Then we were out of it. Extensive area covered, lots of algal green streaks.
