The Latin word "glomus" means "a ball of yarn". Glomospira species make a test that has a single chamber in the center, surrounded by a very long tubular second chamber that winds around it. Sample collected in an inlet of the Oslofjord, Norway. Image courtesy of Elisabeth Alve, University of Oslo. Originally published in J. Foram. Res. 16: 261-284; used with permission.

Specimens were isolated from surface sediments samples collected in Kongsfjorden, Isfjorden and Adventfjorden during the cruise of r/v « Oceania » between 22 July and 2 August 2004. The sediment samples were sieved at 500 um and 125 um sized meshes, and living specimens were picked under dissecting microscope on board. The specimens were photographed, measured and fixed for further DNA extraction. Source: http://www.iopan.gda.pl/projects/biodaff/EMBS-06.html
