Light micrograph of a colony of Hydrodictyon sp. ,a freshwater green alga also known as the water- net. Each individual cylindrical cell typically connects with 6 neighbours (5-8 are also known) to form a three- dimensional network. Hydrodictyon is a coenobium or determinate colony,which means that the total number of divisions & thus the number of cells making up the colony is fixed at the time of the origin of the colony & cannot be extended. Unlike indeterminate colonies,it is not simply an aggregate of cells with unlimited potential for cell division. Magnification: x100 at 35mm size | |
