Spirulina is a genus of cyanobacteria. It is not classed as algae, despite the common name of cyanobacteria being blue-green algae. Despite its name, the "spirulina" dietary supplement actually uses cyanobacteria belonging to the genus Arthrospira (which were formerly classified within Spirulina).^[2]

-'''''Spirulina''''' is a [[genus]] of [[cyanobacteria]], which is also considered blue-green [[algae]].  As a photosynthetic organism capable of fixing nitrogen, it's nutrient limitations are relatively low.
-== Uses ==
-Spirulina and Hematococus microalgae for aquaculture feed additives and human nutritional supplements and health foods were the leading species in total value <ref>[http://hawaii.gov/hdoa/adp/outlook/?searchterm=spirulina Aquaculture in Hawaii<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
+== Species ==
-Its members are not used as as those of ''[[Arthrospira]]'' are.
