Resting cell formation in algae and cyanobacteria is one of the strategies developed for withstanding adverse environmental conditions. This note informs about the different capacities of such resting cells to germinate after long‐term dark preservation at 4 °C in Anabaena variabilis (Cyanobacteria, Cyanophyta) and Haematococcus lacustris (Chlorophyta, Volvocales).
