Description:
Stephanopyxis (steff-ann-o-pick-sus) palmeriana, a filament-forming centric diatom in which the cells are linked together by processes arising from the valves - as shown here. The golden plastids contain chlorophylls a and c, but more significantly with carotenoids such as fucoxanthin which provide the distinctive colour. Differential interference microscopy.
