Oral bulge
Description:
The long oral bulge (~50% of cell length) is one of the main distinguishing features of this subspecies of A. cultriforme. This specimen is somewhat stouter than the cells described by Foissner (Protistology 4 (1), 5-55 (2005) probably due to contraction after transfer from the culture dish to the slide. When observed undisturbed under the dissecting microscope the cells appear more slender.Phase contrast.
