الوصف:
Lyngbya (ling-bee-a) is a filamentous cyanobacteria usually have many cells joined together. They are often motile, gliding through the substrate. Probably the oldest recognizable organisms on Earth - traceable back to the earliest fossils, over 3 billion years old. Some are producers of toxins, some have nitrogen fixing abilities. etc. There are many disc-shaped cells joined end to end to make up the filaments. As can be seen from this community photograph, the filaments can be huge, dwarfing not only many protists but also many metazoa. The organisms are photosynthetic, and also can glide slowly. Phase contrast.
