Type Information
Type locality: "Am 10. April 1889 hemerkte ich, dass das Wasser eines seichten Teiches in der Nähe von Delft durch mikroskopische Algen in- tensiv grün gefärbt war." [pool near Delft, The Netherlands]; (Beijerinck 1890: 725/726) Notes: “On April 10, 1889, I noticed that the water of a shallow pond near Delft was colored intensely green by microscopic algae. The green color was almost as strong as that of the grass on the bank; printed letter could no longer be read through a layer of one centimeter. [...] In the autumn of 1888 the pond had been the hearth of a violent putrefaction with strong evolution of gas and the formation of sulphurous iron. [...] At the beginning of June the green color disappeared, so that at the end of this month nothing of it was noticeable. Stored in beakers in the laboratory, the water soon spoiled as a result of the proliferation of reducing organisms, the green cells fell to the ground and were dead after 14 days (1). [...] The green cells were so small that when the water was filtered through double Swedish filter paper, it was almost as green as when it was infused/ poored onto the filter.”
