a diatom from the genus Chaetoceros

Post by Franz Neidl »

This is again a marine diatom from the genus Chaetoceros. Can somebody say me if the species is Chaetoceros curvisetus?

based on the large diameter of the helix, it looks like curvisetus. Have you got a better image of the aperture between the cells? It is more square for C debilis, roundish for curvisetus.
