| This article is an orphan, as few or no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; suggestions may be available. (October 2010) |
Odontella aurita is a diatom and the type species of genus Odontella. The easiest way to identify this species is by recognizing the very distinct shape of the cells belonging to this genus.
Species description
Two or more labiate processes per valve. Numerous chloroplasts lying against the cell walls. Cells in straight chains[1].
