Pseudodendromonas (sue-soe-dend-row-moan-ass) is one of several pseudodendromonad genera, all of which have rather triangular cells with two similar flagella emerging from one corner. This genus is colonial, with the cells forming a crown at the end of a branching stalk system. Bacterivorous, freshwater. Phase contrast.

Portrait of a colony of the chrysophyte, Pseudodendromonas (Bourrelly,1953). The colorless cells are triangular in shape in lateral view and have two subequal flagella emerging from one corner curving over the anterior side. The small cytostome is located at the anterior corner of the cell opposite the insertion of the flagella. EM reveals that the cell surface is covered by organic scales produced in the Golgi apparatus. There are one or two contractile vacuoles and a single nucleus. EM is required to make identification at the species level. This genus is colonial, with the cells forming a crown at the end of a dichotomously branching stalk system. Bacterivorous. Collected from standing freshwater near Boise, Idaho. DIC.

Cyathobodo (sigh-ath-owe-boe-dough), small heterotrophic flagellate with two flagella located at one anterior corner of the cell, most usually with a fine stalk attaching the cell to the substrate, but this can be very hard to see. The stalk can be seen in this image. Consume bacteria. Phase contrast.
