Emiliania (emil-ee-ann-ee-a) huxleyi, a coccolithophorid haptophyte. It can exist in several different forms, and these are the non-motile coccospheres, in which the cells, with golden plastids, are enclosed in layers of small calcareous scales. Differential interference microscopy. " data on this strain.
