This specimen came from a slimy film of algae that grew in one of my algal cultures. I think that it is a Nostoc. Objective is 40x/0.65

They look chock full of microcystins just ready to fuck up a liver.
I didn’t know about microcystins. Interesting molecules! I think this particular species does not produce them, but I won’t eat them… at least for now. I might grow some edible algae in the future.
