Morphology<\/h2>\n

Solitary, free-floating filaments. Filaments are straight, curved, waved, or coiled (screw-like or irregularly); relatively narrow (cells up to 3-5 \u03bcm wide); only very rarely with false branching. Sheaths present; firm, thin, colorless; sheaths can often be seen extending beyond the ends of the trichome (as is the case in both images to the right). Trichomes isoplar, cylindrical, not narrowed at the ends; uniseriate; unconstricted to slightly constricted at crosswalls (which are often not distinctly visible); immotile. Cells cylindrical; typically longer than wide; rarely almost isodiametric; without aerotopes, or with one solitary polar (near one end of the cell) aerotope; apical cells rounded to bluntly pointed, not conical or capitate.<\/p>\n

Ecology<\/h2>\n

Found in the plankton of reservoirs and lakes.<\/p>\n
