Rhodomonas salina

Rhodomonas (row-doe-moan-ass) salina, a cryptomonad / cryptophyte alga, with red coloured plastids, two flagella (not well imaged here) arise in a wide channel which opens near the front of the cell. Differential interference microscopy. data on this strain.

Rhodomonas (row-doe-moan-ass) salina, a cryptomonad / cryptophyte alga, with red coloured plastids, two flagella, visible upper left, arise in a wide channel which opens near the front of the cell. With starch inclusions. " " Differential interference microscopy.

Rhodomonas (row-doe-moan-ass) salina, a cryptomonad / cryptophyte alga, with red coloured plastids, two flagella arise in a wide channel which opens near the front of the cell. The cell surface is underlain by a layer of stiffening plates, and the texture of these can be seen in places in this micrograph. Differential interference microscopy. data on this strain.
