Image of Vacuolaria Cienkowski 1870

Description:

Vacuolaria (vack-you-owe-lair-ee-a) a raphidophyte algae, with green chloroplasts and two flagella, one of which projects in front of the cell and beats with an undulating pattern. Very similar to Gonyostomum - which has however obvious extrusomes. Differential interference contrast.
