Description:

Dinobryon (dine-owe-bry-on) is a loricate chrysophyte (stramenopile) flagellate. Cells have one long and one short flagellum, and there is an eye-spot at the front end of the plastid. Cells can encyst within the lorica, and form a pored cyst called a stomatocyst, one is visible here. Phase contrast.
