Cyanobacteria or Chlorophyta ?

Post by Gerd »

I can't ID these single cells with jelly cover.
Green or Blue alga ? I found some similar pictures of blue algae : Gloeocapsa,
but these cells are more green coloured, i think. Who can help ?
Objective 40x, DIC, flash.
Thanks,
Gerd

A nice shot there Gerd. I did some looking around and could not find anything similiar except for Gloeocapsa. :D

Don't know Gerd. The solitary cell and color and texture make me think it's Chlorophyta.... maybe Neospongiococcum of some type.
