You guys need to get on this, the poor organism feels neglected and may soon develop abandonment issues. You must save its mental well-being by solving its little identity crisis. That would make you its personal hero - wouldn't that be an awesome feeling?
An SEM, and a glimpse of its habitat:
(scalebars: A - 2um, B - 200um; to be referenced later)
The thing in the SEM is a resting stage.

Would it be too much to ask what "DE" stands for?
ReplyDelete'Digestive Epithelia'
ReplyDeleteIs it a dinoflagellate cyst?
ReplyDeleteNo, but it is a cyst/spore-like structure. And it is somewhat close to the larger group of which the dinoflagellates are a member of. This group fairly recently migrated over there, by the way [/big hint]
ReplyDeleteSo, i guess it's an Haplosporidia; Minchinia, maybe?
ReplyDelete=D Yes! You read JEM, don't you? =P
ReplyDelete(I'll write it up when I'm not falling asleep at the keyboard (and scope), ie tomorrow or something...)
ReplyDeleteI do but actually I found this one here: http://research.amnh.org/~siddall/haplosporidia/morph.html
ReplyDeleteoh ok it's on the cover (i read it online).
