Tribonematales

Xanthonema (zan-though-knee-ma) is a xanthophyte, a group of stramenopiles with chloroplasts. Xanthophytes may adopt a variety of body forms, and the normal form for this genus is the filament. Plastids usually discoid, yellow green. Differential interference contrast.

The cell walls in two parts and overlap as can be seen in the cell without plastids. Plastids usually discoid, yellow green. Differential interference contrast.

Tribonema (tribe-owe-knee-ma) is a xanthophyte, a group of stramenopiles with chloroplasts. Xanthophytes may adopt a variety of body forms, and the normal form for this genus is the filament. Cell walls often built from H-shaped units, and these overlap in the middle of a cell. Stalked attached cells also occur, as is evident here. Plastids usually discoid, yellow green. Differential interference contrast.
