""Watermelon forams"--These foraminiferans possess chlorophyte (green algal) endosymbionts which give to the living cell a characteristic "grass green" coloration (specimen on right). Under high light (high UV?) conditions, the symbionts produce carotenoid pigments (salmon pink specimen on left)."

Description: Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU): Komokioidea sp. A
Komokioidea are typical of deep sea sediments. This group of foraminiferans has been described relatively recently. Smaller foraminifera are incorporated in the tests of this species. Item Type: Image Title: Komokioidea sp. Copyright: SERPENT project Species: Komokioidea sp. Behaviour: deposit feeder Site: Atlantic -- Norwegian -- Dalsnuten Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 1452 Latitude: 66 deg 34' 33" N Longitude: 3 deg 32' 46" E Countries: Norway -- Norwegian Sector Habitat: Benthic Rig: Aker Barents Project Partners: Shell, Aker Drilling, Oceaneering ROV: Magnum 142 Deposited By: Dr K Kroeger Deposited On: 27 June 2011

Description: This is most likely the Xenophyophore Syringammina sp.
Xenophyophores are single celled organisms. The single cell branches and splits into hundreds of tubes which ramify and interconnect into a complex network. The test builds up as it proliferates, secreting a slimy organic cement. These are the largest structures produced by a single cell.

Collected in Sandebukta, an inlet of the Oslofjord in Norway. Image courtesy of Elisabeth Alve, University of Oslo. Originally published in J. Foram. Res. 16: 261-284; used with permission.
-
A living specimen of a spherical spumellarian radiolarian (Styptosphaera sp.) showing the spherical central capsule enclosed by a spongiose siliceous shell. Numerous cytoplasmic strands (axopodia) radiate outward from the central capsule and bear patches of golden-pigmented algal symbionts.
-
Orbulina (orb-you-line-a) universa, a large planktonic foraminiferan, with algae distributed along the radiating pseudopodia. This is a juvenile form, with numerous symbiotic algae. This is an example of one of the four types of large amoebae which is common in the marine water column. Dark ground image by Dave Caron.
