Gregor:

You may kindly pinpoint the specimen you are talking about and add magnification scale.

Shing-Chi Liu

I have looking in http://www.algaebase.org/,

Is it Nostoc or Rivularia or Ecballocystis?

Best regards

Alexandra Anna van der Geer

By the look of it, my guess is in the bacterial kingdom, not the algae. Keep me informed, it's a very interesting life form!

Lenka Hutarova

It is looks like Nostoc (N. commune maybe) or some heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria, but for better identification you need a micro -photo.

Gregor Kozlowski

Thanks a lot for your hints.

Eugenia A. Sar

Dear Gregor:

Very beautiful picture!, I think as the other collegues that it is a Cyanobacteria.

If you can take some microscopic picture of this material it would be posibly to determined it .

Kind regards.

I found similar growths on Mayan monuments with Gloeocapsa bituminosa (Bory) Kützing (Cyanoprokaryota – Cyanobacteria) as main component. Also subaerial and epilithic. But you need to see under microscope.

Geddada Mohan Narasimha Rao

In case of BGA it is difficult to identify without microscopic photographs, some times BGA associated with filamentous chlorophyceae members.

thank you
