Green
A nice little desmid algae, not so common, but quite easily identified because of the long spines. No to be confused with Staurastrum polytrichum, which has -as the name says for those of us who have knowlegde of Latin - many more spines. The species seems to prefer waters with moderate nutrient level (mesotrophic). Green Algae, Plankton, Spines, Confused, Nutrient, Common, Easily, Nice, Long

A very common green algae in all kinds of fresh water. You do see the transparent piece of cell wall between the cells? That is characteristic for this species. #plankton #phytoplankton #microscope #levä #viehrlevä #alger #grönager Cell Wall, Phyto, Microscope, Fresh Water, Species

Botryococcus braunii, a microscopic green algae with a lot of oil in it. You can see the shiny oil droplets on top of the colony. This species has been studied for the possibility to make fuel out of micro algae #microalgae #phytoplankton #fuel Microscopic, Oil, Butter
