Salpingoeca huxleyi Ellis, 1930. Cell globular. Body of lorica egg-shaped, with a wide, sturdy neck which bulges towards its own base. This neck appears to be marked off, at its actual base, from the lorica proper by a costa-like ring. This ring is probably an optical effect due to the lorica neck being set in a shallow depression or in-fold of the lorica body. A further peculiarity is that the neck of the cell is never extended beyond the distal limit of the lorica neck, so that the base of the collar is always within its everted rim. Collar and flagellum normal. Nucleus conspicuous. Contractile vacuoles: two. Peduncle length variable. Length of body of lorica: 8 microns Length of neck of loriea: 4 microns Width at centre of neck of lorica: 3 microns Greatest width of lorica: 6.5 microns Peduncle length: 16-32 microns

Salpingoeca resides on the bluegreen alga Nodularia spumigena. The scale bar indicates 10 m. Collected from Bodden, the brackish waters lying between the isles of Hiddensee and Ruegen (German Baltic Sea).

Salpingoeca (sal-ping-go-eek-a), a collar flagellate (choanoflagellate) - all of which have a single anterior flagellum surrounded by a collar of very fine pseudopodia (in cross-section the collar seems like two arms, one on either side of the flagellum). The flagellum beats drawing water through the collar and bacteria and other small particles are trapped and then ingested. Believed to be the source group of the sponges and the metazoa. Salpingoeca has an organic lorica. Phase contrast.

Salpingoeca, a genus of collar flagellates in which the cell is enclosed within an organic lorica. The cells have a single apical flagellum that is surrounded with a collar of fine pseudopodia that appears as two dark lines, one to either side of the flagellum in this micrograph. Probably feeds on suspended bacteria. From Lake Donghu, China. Phase contrast micrograph.

The cells have a single apical flagellum that is surrounded with a collar of fine pseudopodia that appears as two dark lines, one to either side of the flagellum and pressed tight against the neck of the lorica. From Lake Donghu, China. Phase contrast micrograph.

Salpingoeca, a colorless choanoflagellate consisting of a cell body (protoplast) within an organic periplast or theca. A distinct collar of microvilli surrounds a single flagellum. Bacteria and debris are directed toward the base of the collar in currents generated by the flagellum. Food particles are engulfed by small pseudopodia from the protoplast just outside the collar of microvilli and then digested in food vacuoles at the posterior of the cell. A contractile vacuole and nucleus are seen anteriorly in this individual. This species is solitary and attaches to the substratum by the posterior fine extension of the theca. From standing fresh water near Boise, Idaho. Oblique illumination.
