Description
With 1 long and 1 very short flagellum which is readily overlooked . The long flagellum directed posteriorly during swimming . Cells contain a single parietal chloroplast with a pyrenoid. An eyespot is situated on the surface of the pyrenoid . With numerous muciferous bodies . Cells covered with spiderweb-like scales on cell body and flagella . 1262 PRASINOPHYCEAE Scales on the flagella lack the spine characterizing pyrenoid. Mamie/la. Very widely distributed marine axoneme-c flagellate , comes often up in enrichment cultures . short but Two described species . See Barlow and Cattolico into a lo (1980); Marchant et al.
