Microspora

Microspora


Unbranched filaments 5-25 micron diameter. Cells appear to have numerous parietal chloroplasts( though this is not the case) and are somewhat similar in structure to. Tribonema ( 61). With H pieces ( overlapping half-cell walls illustrated for. Tribonema) but are relatively shorter and thicker and are a more opaque darker green. In running or standing water. The upper two cells in the figure are seen in optical section. The lower two in surface view.

Cocconies

Cocconeis Extremely common flat oval diatoms.10-30 micron long.clinging to plants stones and other substrada some times in almost continuous layer cleaned frustule 3 cells on an Oedogonium filament. RlPPLE WALLET : rE9VzDvqozvgbd2trCKitN4fSi6ENiHu41  

Tribonema

Tribonema Filamentous and unbranched 5-20 micron diameter with several parietal chloroplasts and H- pieces resembling Microspora (39) but differing in the longer and narrower cells and much paler and more transparent appearance. Having no starch. Commen especially in grassy pools. 61 a part of a filament 61b H- piece ( fit together to form the walls) RlPPLE WALLET : rE9VzDvqozvgbd2trCKitN4fSi6ENiHu41  

Gomphosphaeria (Coelosphaerium )

Gomphosphaeria ( Coelosphaerium ) Gomphosphaeria ( Coelosphaerium ). Small cells up to 5um in diameter, united into a hollaw, roughly spherical, floating colony, sometimes blackish in appearanco and often sur-rounded by mucilage. Colonies reach about 100um across.Conspicuous in the plankton of lakes. RlPPLE WALLET : rE9VzDvqozvgbd2trCKitN4fSi6ENiHu41
