Description:

The heterotrophic cells are displayed in three profiles that show an anterior and posterior flagellum each emerging from the anterior end of the ventral feeding groove. The cells here appear to contain a bacterium in a food vacuole. The specimens were collected on coverslips from anoxic sediments from Eel Pond, Woods Hole, MA. Photo by Banoo Malik.
