Various Desmidiaceae collected in a moor
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2022 11:00 am
Dear foresters,
during a short vacation I had the opportunity to visit a moor to take some water samples. Was quite happy to catch few desmidiaceae.
Like to share some impressions with you.
Site: Taufach - Fetzach - Moos (Germany, Württemberg Allgäu - September, 25th 2022)
3 - Euastrum sp. The last picture shows the alga somewhat deformed due to the pressure on the cover glass. Could this be Euastrum didelta? Edit: It is probabely E. humerosum.
Image 4 - Netrium interruptum, first image with size indications, further image with focus on the terminal vacuoles and the enclosed crystals.
Image 5 - Netrium interruptum, image shows the dark green stripes of the star-shaped chloroplast in cross-section. The alga already appears somewhat deformed due to the pressure on the coverslip.
Image 6 - Micrasterias sp. (possibly Micrasterias americana ?). First recording in HF, second recording with DIK.
Image 7 - Tetmemorus sp. (T. granulatus)? I assume that the photo shows the side view of the alga, so the deep cuts at the ends are not visible?
Recording 8 - Hyalotheca sp. (Hyalotheca mucosa). DIK images with a focus on the gelatinous shell.
