Allogromiidae

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

False-color image of a foraminiferan (pink) rending and consuming a bacterial biofilm (blue). The dark area is the region cleared by the foram in approximately 12 hours. Species not identified. Image courtesy of Joan Bernhard, WHOI. A version of this image appeared in Bernhard, J., and Bowser, S.S. (1992) Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 83:263-272.

A brightfield image of a portion of a reticulopod and several rod-shaped bacteria. The oral zone of the foraminiferan is at upper left. Image courtesy of Samuel S. Bowser, Wadsworth Center.

Lieberkuehnia from the Severn Estuary as promised.

This image clearly shows the prominent "collar" around the oral zone for which the species is named. Image courtesy of Samuel S. Bowser, Wadsworth Center.

This species has an organic-walled test, which is thin, flexible and somewhat transparent. It is visible as the hazy "halo" around the cell body. Image courtesy of Samuel S. Bowser, Wadsworth Center.

This individual is surrounded by the empty frustules of diatoms it has consumed. Image courtesy of Jeffrey L. Travis, University at Albany.
