... protected microhabitats associated with macroalgae and seagrasses. A new species of Allogromia was isolated from the alga Dasycladus vermicularis (Scopoli) collected from prop-roots of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle (Linneaus), in Zane Grey Creek, Long Key, Florida. This species, Allogromia arnoldi n...

... to eliminate DNA that was previously amplified during the life cycle. Here we test this hypothesis by comparing the relative copy number of ribosomal DNA and two protein-coding genes with quantitative PCR before and after zerfall in the cultured foraminifer Allogromia laticollaris strain CSH. Our results...

.... According to the analyses of partial small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA), the species may have a panantarctic distribution and is slightly different from a similar Arctic morphotype. The second species is morphologically and genetically similar to Allogromia crystallifera Dahlgren, 1962 from Scandinavian...

...PLATE 2 Reticulopodia of Allogromia sp. (strain NF), extended in low-calcium seawater and processed for transmission electron microscopy according to Travis and Allen (1981) : Fig. 1. Ellipsoid, fuzzy-coated vesicle (MOV) and tubulin-containing helical filament (arrow), two features thought...

.... Allogromia laticollaris was cultured in 26‰ salinity Føyn’s erdschreiber as described previously ( Travis and Allen, 1981 ). Amphistegina leesonii and Amphisorus hemprichii were collected at a depth of 25–50 m from the Red Sea at Elat, Israel, and maintained in a artificial Red Sea water of 40‰ salinity...

... monothalamous taxa contributed at least 50% of the live foraminiferal assemblage (Table 1 ). Five monothalamous taxa were present in the October 2002 sample. Two of these species, one with an agglutinated wall ( Psammophaga sp.) and the other with an organic wall ( Allogromia crystallifera Dahlgren, 1962...

... to Clade E, one of a series of clades of monothalamous foraminifera. Psammophaga sapela joins three previously described species in this genus: P. simplora Arnold, the type species, P. magnetica Pawlowski and Majewski, and the reassigned Allogromia crystallifera Dahlgren. This new species is of moderate...

.... They vary from <50μm to a centimetre or more in length and are morphologically diverse, including spherical, oval, sausage-shaped and thread-like forms. Most are monothalamous and have either one aperture (e.g. Allogromia ) or two terminal apertures at either end of the test (e.g. Nemogullmia...

... transformation of distinctive fusiform zygotes into equally distinctive radiate “embryos,” indicate further differences between this foraminiferoidal sarcodinian and such a simple isomorphic foraminifer as Allogromia laticollaris . Culture observations on species of Cibicides , Planorbulina , and agglutinating...

... or active sliding mechanism in which two surfaces, usually both of gel but possibly one of gel and one of sol, move in relation to each other. The first system occurs typically in Amoeba (Mast, 1926) and Physarum (Jahn, Rinaldi, and Brown, 1960; Jahn, 1960), and the second in Allogromia (Jahn and Rinaldi...

... species from the Foraminifera and separated the family Allogromiidae into two subfamilies, Myxothecinae and Allogrominae, based on the absence or presence of a distinct aperture. Grassé (1953) placed some allogromiid genera ( Allogromia, Lieberkuehnia ) in the order Thalamia, a sister group...
