Most likely ID: n.a.

Basionym: Euastrum ansatum var. rhomboidale Ducellier 1918

Add’l Synonyms: n.a.

Sampling date 06/2023. Scale bars indicate 25 µm (1, 3–5), 10 µm (2).

Five images.

First and third:

Synoptic representation of the upper cell wall. Inset: Higher magnification of the pores in the cell wall through which the protective mucus is secreted.
Regarding the third image: The circular pattern on the cell wall is caused by the slight contusion caused by the coverslip pressure.

Second:Optical cross-section through the chloroplasts showing parts of the lobed chloroplast and storage substances (oil droplets and crystals).
Fourth:The optical cross section through the cell shows parts of the lobed chloroplast and storage substances (crystals).
Fifth:The optical cross section through the cell shows pyrenoids and storage substances (crystals). In the pyrenoids, the cell produces the storage substance starch, which is deposited as a shell around them, which can be clearly seen here.
