Really beautiful photos.
Maybe it could also be the genus Staurastrum

Thank you for the comments, but I still do not know what it is ?

Yep, looks like Cosmarium. I've found the Protist Information Server at http://protist.i.hosei.ac.jp/ to be really helpful for ID-ing denizens of the microworld.

I have my doubts that it Cosmarium

Hi Jacek.
I have long searched without finding anything similar
Perhaps be Cosmarium but I am not sure at all for the peculiar 'thorns' that it has
This is a very good web page:

Why do not you send to them the photo to go out of the doubt?
Regards.

Pd. Forgive my insistence and my bad bad english
