 mutabilis, portrait
Euglena mutabilis (you-glean-a mew-tab-ill-iss), is a moderately long but usually thin worm-like euglena. It may or may not have an emerging flagellum, and distinguished from similarly-shaped species by the relatively small number of large chloroplasts. The image also shows (from anterior - top): flagellar pocket, stigma or eyespot, small paramylon granules, and nucleus in the middle of the cell. Typically very metabolic - squirming a lot as is suggested by the different profiles in this image. Differential interference contrast. This picture was taken by David Patterson and Mark Farmer of material from freshwater sites in the vicinity of the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, USA) in April, 2001 and from collections of organisms maintained at the University.

Euglena
From the collection
Athens, Georgia, USA
| Description of Euglena: Euglenid flagellate, with one or more green plastid or plastids, elongate or ovoid cells, some cylindrical, others flattened and/or cork-screwed in shape; one or no emergent flagella; swimming involves helical rotation of the cell; most species squirm but a few are almost rigid; gliding occurs in some taxa; eyespot and flagellar swelling present; canal opening subapical; about 125 species, mostly freshwater, a few marine; widely studied. The genus has recently been revised, and those changes are not yet included in this web site. Type species: Euglena viridis (Muller) Ehrenberg. |
