Images
Images are not scaled. An individual that looks bigger than its neighbors might actually be smaller. See approximate size via the Observations section below. All images were made to fit within an area of 360px high and 200px wide.
Observations
| Author: | Tisza Bell 2010 |
|---|---|
| Biovolume/cell | |
| Length: | 80-100 µm |
| Width: | 80-100 µm |
Description:
Significantly larger than any of the phytoplankton taxa. Cells are amber colored and have many short flagella, giving them a hairy appearnace.
Notes:
In Green Lakes this taxon category is morphotype AJ, also called "unknown heterotroph." The term heterotroph refers to a broad spectrum of groups and species that consume other organisims. Some heterotrophs can also be photosynthetic but are not considered an algae. For the purposes of this website the heterotrophs that have been observed are described but have not been speciated.
