Ripening sorus (fruiting body) of a marine strain after cultivation on yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The orange-red coloration can be ascribed to the stigmata of hundreds of maturing gametes (planonts) awaiting their imminent dissemination. Elder sori are no longer linked to the filopodial network. Strain isolated from ships ballast water. Leica stereomicroscope M 125, incident light. FOV: 500 m.
-
Labyrinthula coenocystis (Labyrinthulidae): Cyst formed on a submersed cover slip with escaping filopodia containing a huge number of spindle-shaped cell-like compartments in centrifugal motion to the periphery of the plasmodial network. Strain isolated from North Sea (Port of Bremerhaven, Germany). SEM, glutardialdehyde fixation, critical point drying. Bars: 100 m. FOV: 350 m

Labyrinthula coenocystis (Labyrinthulidae): Sequences demonstrating the architecture of the plasmodial network and the motion behavior of the cell-like compartments within filopodial strands. Petri dish culture. Isolated from salt marshes (Bojensdorfer Werder, Baltic Sea, Germany). Normal velocity. Zeiss IM 35, dark-field illumination and phase contrast. FOV: 1.3 mm and 130 m
