Definition
Plural of desmid; freshwater green algae characterized by living in pairs connected by a narrow central bridge.
Etymology
From Greek 'desmos' (bond) + plural suffix. The term 'desmid' itself comes from the distinctive bonded structure these algae share.
Kelly Says
Desmids are indicators of clean water—if you see lots of them under a microscope, it usually means the water is pure and unpolluted!
