Description:
When ciliates with lorica undergo a binary fission, one of them converts to a swarmer. The image shows a Eufolliculina swarmer which is looking for a suitable place to build his chitinous lorica.
Collected from Bodden, the brackish waters lying between the isles of Hiddensee and Ruegen (German Baltic Sea). This image was taken using Zeiss Universal with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.
