Description:
In the girdle view, the cells appear cylindrical, but when viewed in cross-section, they are circular. They arrange themselves in straight, closely linked chains, which are delicate and tend to break into shorter chains or individual cells easily. The valves exhibit a mild convex shape with a small central depression, and they are encircled by a ring of strut-like structures around the cell’s edge. From these structures, gelatinous filaments emerge, which can be seen in water samples (indicated by a black arrow). Additionally, there are occluded processes present in the marginal area, which play a role in connecting the adjacent cells in a chain.
