Filamentous algae, unbranched, from a river, like tufts of hair, 50 micras diameter
I have some doubts because i dont see the distinctive rings from Oedogonium and for Rhizoclonium the cells are too much isodiametric
anyone can give me some clues?
Hello Maria Verdugo Althöfer
What was the color of the filaments? The dimension of the cells suggest a member of Klebsormidium genus. But it could be something else. Was there false branching visible? How was basal like? And the apical cell?
I can try to identify this specimen if you provide me with these details if possible.
If you look closely then the reticulated distribution of the pyrenoids and the presence of one apical cap like structure is evident. Based on these, the specimen should belong to Oedogoniales order. But to be certain some more scrutiny must be done.
Warm regards

Dear Maria,
It could not be Klebsormidium but some other genera... a bit confusing... need more characters of the filaments to be viewed...
Most probably it should be Oedogonium Genus... Have a detailed study.. observe many filaments...
Check for Tribonema also?
With Regards...

Thanks Elaya Perumal Ulagalanthaperumal and Abhishek Mukherjee for yours answers.
The colour from the sample when it was sampling was bright green.
I dont think neither it is Klebsormidium. I think it must be more closer to Oedogonium.
But, already i have a lot of filaments, i haven´t see any typical rings between cells. Not branching and not the typical basal cell.
I don´t think it could be Tribonema, they don´t have the typical H structures.
It it helps in the sample were also Cladophora filaments.
Thanks
Maria
In my opinion, it's not Oedogonium. It looks like Chaetomorpha or something like this.
Maybe, Olga Burova can help us ;-)
I agree with Roman Romanov and it looks like Oedogonium for me. The typical rings not always can be seen.
