149 Rhizosolenia setigera 剛毛根管藻 Phylum: Heterokontophyta 门:不等鞭毛門 Class: Coscinodiscophyceae 纲:中心硅藻綱 Order: Rhizosoleniales 目:根管藻目 Family: Rhizosoleniaceae 科:根管藻科 Morphology Cells are narrow, elongated, cylindrical with roughly hexagonal girdle view. Cells are solitary but short chains are observed occasionally. Valves are asymmetrical, sharply subconical, tapering into a very long, needle-shaped spine. Spines are usually straight, frequently occupying two-thirds of the total length of the cell. The spines keep almost constant diameters from the base for a certain distance, and gradually tapper into a sharp tip. The cytoplasm contains numerous small elliptical chloroplasts. 形態 細胞細長柱形,殼環面觀近似六邊形。單個生活,偶爾組成短鏈。從殼環面觀看殼 面呈不對稱的高圓錐形,頂端有一針狀長刺。長刺直,通常長度占細胞總長度的2/3。 長刺自基部向外伸展一定距離仍然等粗,隨後逐漸變細。色素體多,呈小橢圓形。 Ecology and distribution Rhizosolenia setigera is a cosmopolitan neritic species with a broad temperature range. This species could be detected from subpolar regions to tropical waters. 生態與分佈 剛毛根管藻是廣溫性近岸物種,在亞極地海域至熱帶海域廣泛分佈。 Size
