Super sharp. Nice work... I agree it does look like jewelry. Do you know, is the center odd shaped link the nucleus?

I do not understand

Hi Jacek, probably Anabaena lemmermannii, with developing akinetes (resting cells) directly flanking the heterocysts (nitrogen fixating cells). That's what Curt probably interpretes as the nucleus. Which a cyanobacterium not has in any case.

Best wishes, René

Thanks Rene for the detailed description. I'm not familiar with these. They've never turned up on my slides.

Well, this is the time of year to watch out for scum on the surface of lakes.
Good luck hunting; keep dogs and kids out of the way of this scum!

Best wishes, René
