👉 Drymotaenium is a type of algae that primarily lives in freshwater environments, such as lakes and rivers. It consists of several types of cells—clamps, spores, and cells with distinct shapes and sizes—together. The cells are often arranged in a spiral pattern, resembling the shape of a dry mottle or a dried out leaf. Drymotaenium is known for its ability to grow rapidly under low light conditions and can thrive in environments that are typically quite cold.
