'''''Gloeocapsa''''' is a type of Photoautotrophic Bacteria ([[Cyanobacteria]]), and is a [[prokaryote]].
The cells secrete individual gelatinous sheaths which can often be seen as sheaths around recently divided cells within outer sheaths. Recently divided cell pairs often appear to be only one cell since the new cells cohere temporarily. Also known as glow caps. This term derives from its yellowish hue givin off by the cap.
