In the closeup to the left, the opening between the cells of Chaetoceros
cf. brevis are seen clearly. The middle picture shows Chaetoceros
tenuissimus, where the cells are solitary. On the right, Chaetoceros
constrictus is seen. It has produced spores to rest upon while
it waits for better conditions.
On the left - Chaetoceros
eibenii, which builds colonies that are straight. On the right
- Chaetoceros
socialis, which builds long colonies that are sparsely spooled.
