LM of conjugating filaments of Spirogyra
Light micrograph showing conjugating filaments of Spirogyra sp. a green alga which forms slimy threads in stagnant or slow moving water. Conjugation, a form of sexual reproduction, occurs in spring when the threads come together in pairs. Both filaments put out papillae, which meet to form conjugation tubes, as seen here. Cytoplasmic mass from the cells of one of the threads (termed male) migrates through the tubes to fuse with the cytoplasm in the (female) cells of the second thread. This produces a zygospore which either germinates at once or lies dormant until the following spring. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Spirogyra, a green alga known for forming slimy threads in stagnant or slow-moving water. The image, captured through a light microscope, reveals the process of conjugation - a fascinating form of sexual reproduction that occurs during springtime when these threads come together in pairs. In this mesmerizing snapshot, both filaments extend papillae which meet to create conjugation tubes. These delicate structures serve as conduits for the migration of cytoplasmic mass from one thread (referred to as male) into the cells of the second thread (known as female). This fusion results in the formation of zygospores, which can either germinate immediately or remain dormant until the following spring. The magnification level at x200 and 35mm size allows us to appreciate every minute detail within this microscopic world. The vibrant shades of green highlight the vitality and resilience exhibited by these filamentous algae. As we delve into this enchanting visual representation, we are reminded of nature's incredible ability to perpetuate life through diverse reproductive mechanisms. This photograph not only celebrates botanical wonders but also serves as a testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to capturing and sharing awe-inspiring moments from our natural world.
