Chroococcus (crow-owe-cock-us) tentative identification. Coccoid blue green algal cells. Found as one of several cyanobacterial epibionts on the leaves of the moss Hygrohypnum, a site which seems to be a focus for nitrogen fixation. Differential interference contrast. This image taken by Michele Bahr and David Patterson of material collected from the water column and the margins of Lake Toolik (Alaska, USA) in August, 2001. Image copyright: Michele Bahr and D. J.
