Thank you guys for the kind comments but I am still waiting for somebody who could help me with the identification of this algae. It is quite important to me.

Marek,

you need to post more images. Show the branches in detail and some overview images.

Did you controll it if it is Oedogonium (or Tribonema) ?

Ecki,
Unfortunately I don't have any more images. This is the only one.

Franz,
Thank you for your idea if about Oedogonium. I looked over some resources and it could be this species. I am not sure, but it looks very similar to my specimen.
