Pinnularia is a fresh water alga, a type of diatom (phytoplankton/Bacillariophyceae) which is lives in oceans, in fresh water, in soils, and on damp surfaces. “Diatoms are unicellular, although they can form colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragilaria), fans (e.g. Meridion), zigzags (e.g. Tabellaria), or stars (e.g. Asterionella).” “Diatoms generally range in size from 2 to 200μm” (wikipedia) | Pinnularia is a fresh water alga, a type of diatom (phytoplankton/Bacillariophyceae) which is lives in oceans, in fresh water, in soils, and on damp surfaces. “Diatoms are unicellular, although they can form colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragilaria), fans (e.g. Meridion), zigzags (e.g. Tabellaria), or stars (e.g. Asterionella).” “Diatoms generally range in size from 2 to 200μm” (wikipedia) | ||
