Description:
Closterium, a common desmid, is very distinctive because of its smile shape. The nucleus is in the central region and the bright green chloroplasts extend into the two sides of the cell. The small circular pyrenoids are located in the chloroplasts. This desmid was collected from Obsidian Creek.
