[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 reports: Very warm--85° (feels like 90°); lake--79°; minimal clouds, very calm lake . I believe it was just beginning to form. It was much weaker when I went by the area first. Then I returned and it was larger, longer, and more congealed.
