Slimy algae colony and a Paramecium

The algae seem have to be connected via thin strands and also appear to be encapsulated in some sort of a slime layer. Also a Paramecium was kind enough to stand still for a few seconds so I could get a shot.

I appreciate the ID, now I can dig a little further into the organization of Dictyosphaerium.
