Description
Coelastrum cambricum is a microscopic, coenobioid green alga. The colonies form from a single cell and are always found in a coenobium, although the number of cells in the coenobium can vary. The large processes of Coelastrum cambricum differentiate it from other species of Coelastrum.
Where To Find
Coelastrum cambricum can be found in lentic freshwater habitats throughout Maryland. It is often a minor component of rich algal communities in mesotrophic waters but may be a dominant species in nutrient-enriched habitats.
