Uroglenopsis americana (G.N.Calk.) Lemmerm.
Uroglenopsis americana
Cell size: 4-6x 8-10 µm (oval cells). Large round colonies, with cells arranged on surface of colony. Cells with two flagella, one very short and one ~4 times cell length. Colonies disintegrate easily in Lugol preservation. Cells change form in preservation and can be mistaken for other nano sized species. In Lugol samples: lower end of cell often colourless.
