(A) (B) (C) (D) 06: 00 One cell thick euglenoid layer at the sediment surface with smaller<br />

diatoms occupying spaces. Larger diatoms migrating to the sediment surface and<br />

emerging in synchrony (E) (F) 10: 00 Euglenoid cells dominate the sediment surface with<br />

smaller diatoms and cyanobactena forming a sub-surface layer (G) (H) 16: 00 Diatoms<br />

have moved above the eugleoid layer and patches <strong>of</strong> cyanobacteria are evident. (1) (J)<br />

18: 00 Larger cells found in patches With surface dominated by smaller naviculoid forms
