Scytonema

Scytonema is a genus of photosynthetic cyanobacteria that contains over 100 species. It grows in filaments that form dark mats. Many species are aquatic and are either free-floating or grow attached to a submerged substrate, while others species grow on terrestrial rocks, wood, soil, or plants. Scytonema is a nitrogen fixer, and can provide fixed nitrogen to the leaves of plants on which it is growing.[1] Some species of Scytonema form a symbiotic relationship with fungi to produce a lichen.

gollark: Did you finish... EWOEE yet?
gollark: Well, some syscalls set registers, right? As well as predefined inputs, I guess syscallesolang™ would allow you to say "use already set value".
gollark: Would that be TC?
gollark: Idea: esolang where you can ONLY use syscalls with fixed parameters?
gollark: Wow, there are 438 syscalls?
