Volvox carteri
Volvox carteri F.Stein 1873 is a species of colonial green algae in the order Volvocales. [1] V. carteri forms large spherical colonies, or coenobium, of 2000-6000 Chlamydomonas type cells.[2] Colonies contain mostly somatic cells plus a smaller number of gametes in female or male colonies.[2] In addition to female colonies with eggs and male colonies with sperm bundles, purely vegetative colonies exist.[2] All three types of colonies may also have specialized cells called gonidia for asexual reproduction of the colony.[2]
