Clumped Algae

Caption:

This microscopic image shows clumped cells of blue-green algae. Algae deplete oxygen in stagnant summer waters of the estuary in the Neuse River in North Carolina. The algae sample was taken as part of an on-going study of the Neuse to determine how pollutants are being transferred into the river. [Image is 2 of 4 related images; see also, Diatoms in Neuse River, Filamentous Blue-Green Algae, and Collecting River Samples.]
