Spongomonas (spong-owe-moan-ass), is a solitary or colonial spongomonad flagellate, in which the cells are located within a more or less globular matrix formed from adhering small globules of mucilage. Many cells were dislodged while this sample was being prepared. Phase contrast.

Spongomonas (spong-owe-moan-ass), is a solitary or colonial spongomonad flagellate, in which the cells are located within a more or less globular matrix formed from adhering small globules of mucilage. In this case the colony has formed at the end of some extraneous fibre. Phase contrast.

Spoongomonas, detail of several cells from within a globular colony. Each cell is more or less spherical and gives rise to two long flagella that are slightly different in length. The matrix of the colony is made up up of brown globular mucoid balls. From Lake Donghu, China. Differential interference contrast micrograph.
-
Spongomonas - a heterotrophic flagellate. The cells are spherical and give rise to two flagella that are slightly different in length. The cells form colonies, being embedded in a common mucous matrix that is made up of small globules of orange or brown mucus. This species forms sausage-shaped colonies that are up to a millimetre in length. Bright field illumination.

Portrait of Spongomonas intestinum colony. Colonies are composed of small spherical colorless individual flagellates each with two equal flagella embedded in a serpiginous gelatinous matrix. Flagella are about 3 times cell length. Some species form spherical colonies. Gelatinous matrix may be brownish-green as seen here or nearly colorless. From freshwater pond near Boise, Idaho. Brightfield.

Detail of Spongomonas colony showing individual cells embedded in gelatinous matrix. Each cell has two equal flagella about three times the cell length. From fresh water pond near Boise, Idaho. Oblique illumination.
