Caption:
This photomicrograph depicted numbers of the colorless algal organism, Prototheca filamenta. This alga lacks the presence of plastids, and is therefore, achlorophyllous. Under microscopic analysis, Prototheca spp. resemble a fungal organism, and can therefore, be mistaken when attempting to identify these algae.
