Rhabdoderma lineare Schmidle and Lauterborn

( Fig. 7 )

Colonies are small, irregularly elongate. Cells orient­ ed more or less in one direction or irregularly arranged with mucilage. Cell is 1-3 μm wide, 4-15 μm long, long cylindrical, rod­shaped, straight, slightly arcuate and cell content is pale blue-green or grey-green, with fine gran­ ular.

Ecology: We collected this species from eutrophic reservoirs on June 29, 2015. This species was found in shallow oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes and ponds with submerged macrophytes ( John et al., 2011). It was also commonly found in temperature zones ( Komárek and Anagnostidis, 1999).
