colony

Single-layered spherical to ellipsoidal colonies containing hundreds to thousands of cells. Contains somatic and reproductive cells where somatic cells are identical, spherical, ellipsoidal, pyriform (pear-shaped) or stellate. Each cell contains a chloroplast which is typically cup-shaped or irregularly disciform, and a single pyrenoid. The eyespot is usually largest in outside cells and smaller or absent in the inside cells. Daughter colonies develop within the maternal colony and can be seen as brighter green inclusions. They break free by rupturing the surface of the colony. Sample was collected from a sponge set in the shallow fresh water of Crystal Lake, Appledore Island.
