EDIT: title changed, was "Marine Diatom - genus??"
Thanks to Dominique for ID to genus Licmophora or Meridion or ???

Mitch: I usually try to clean specimens by repeatedly sucking them up and then squirting them out of a Pasteur pipette. Works OK for single objects but it probably would have disengaged the cells in this desmid. It was the only one I could find so I could not risk the 'squirting' technique.
