''[[Trichodesmium erythraeum]]'', described by Ehrenberg in 1830, is the [[lectotype]] of the genus. ''T. erythraeum'' is the species responsible for discoloring the [[Red Sea]] during blooms. This is the only sequenced genome in the genus thus far and is the focus of most laboratory studies (''Trichodesmium'' IMS 101).<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Trichodesmium erythraeum.jpg|thumb|''Trichodesmium erythraeum'' colony]] -->
