Bacteria
This beautiful image was made by Wim van Egmond. It looks like the test of a fresh water foraminifer, an Limnogromia species, but in fact it’s a bunch of bacteria around a Spirogyra algae. The photomicrograph below shows some Allogromia specimens, all about 400 µm.
P. arcelloides – after Penard, 1904 Penardochlamys arcelloides (Penard, 1904) Deflandre, 1953 Diagnosis: Colorless or very slightly yellowish envelope, bag or cauldron-shaped, very thin, chitinous,
R. hannae, plasmodium – photomicrograph Steffen Clauss Reticulomyxa hannae Völcker and Clauß, 2020 Diagnosis: Trophozoites surrounded by a very thin mucous envelope, with slowly moving plasmodia, variable
V. saxonensis, feeding (photomicrograph Steffen Clauss) Velamentofex saxonensis Völcker and Clauß, 2020 Diagnosis: Trophozoites ovoid, 30-95 μm, granuloreticulopodia up to 1000 μm long. with a hyaline, thin
V. tyrolensis (photomicrograph Steffen Clauss) Velamentofex tyrolensis Völcker and Clauß, 2020 Diagnosis: Trophozoites ovoid, 98-125 μm, with reticulopodia up to 300 μm long, with a hyaline,
V. berolinensis Velamentofex berolinensis Völcker and Clauß, 2020 Diagnosis: Trophozoites ovoid, 50-300 µm, with a hyaline, extremely flexible, membranous test. Nuclei numerous, 11.6-16.2 µm in diameter,
