Diatoms with fibers

Post by Bernd »

Here are a few pictures showing freshwater centric diatoms from a local pond, either Cyclotella or Stephanodiscus, with very pronounced fibers made of chitin.
I showed similar pictures several years ago http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 9bdc101d8f

That's very interesting. I've seen "fibres" stretched across a slide from motile diatoms (likely mucous exuded from the raphe) but never this. Something else to look out for in future. Thanks for posting.
