coccoid

Coccoid bodies and filaments may be seen in older cultures.

Cells are typically rod-shaped, with some coccoid forms.

The internal organelles of the mastigote are essentially the same as described in the coccoid cell (see below).

It often appears in bloodsmears as small (0.6μM) coccoid bodies, sometimes forming short chains of 3 to 6 organisms.

All eustigmatophytes are unicellular, with coccoid cells and polysaccharide cell walls.

Radaisia is a genus of coccoid cyanobacterium comprising about 10 identified species.

Methanocaldococcus formerly known as Methanococcus is a genus of coccoid methanogens.

A. agilis resembles protists with its ovoid, ellipsoidal, or coccoid cells.

In direct smears, they may be coccoid, so they can be mistaken for streptococci.

By that a new political party would have to have a coccoid name that would be either meaningless or misleading to voters.

Culture-independent methods provided evidence for filamentous, coccoid and rod-shaped cell morphologies in the hot spring.

The coccoid cells mature into flagellated ovoid zoospores (0.6-1 m in diameter).

Methanogens are usually coccoid (spherical) or bacilli (rod shaped).

The filamentous Microspora has been allied with the coccoid genus Bracteacoccus based on molecular data.

The coccoid cell is surrounded by a cellulosic, usually smooth cell wall that contains large molecular weight proteins and glycoproteins.

The cells are coccoid, Gram positive, catalase positive, oxidase positive with a diameter is 0 89-1 21 micrometres.

Gram-positive, nonmotile, acid-fast, coccoid rods.

Approaching or at the end of the photoperiod the mastigotes cease swimming, release their flagella, and undergo a rapid metamorphosis into the coccoid form.

The fungus appears to be related to the Zygomycetes, and the photobiont resembles the coccoid Gloeocapsa and Chroococcidiopsis.

The encapsulated, Gram-positive coccoid bacteria have a distinctive morphology on Gram stain, the so-called, "lancet-shaped" diplococci.

While most dinoflagellates undergo mitosis as a mastigote, in Symbiodinium, mitosis occurs exclusively in the coccoid cell.

They may also form flagellate zoospores, which characteristically have a single subapical flagellum that spirals backwards around the cell body, and walled coccoid cells.

Coccoid Symbiodinium cells are metabolically active, as they photosynthesize, undergo mitosis, and actively synthesize proteins and nucleic acids.

The hyphae are characterized by branching filaments (1-5 m in diameter) that ultimately fragment by both transverse and longitudinal separation into packets of coccoid cells.

With the microscope one can observe the characteristic "tramcar line"-like D. congolensis colonies together with gram positive thin filaments and coccoid forms.
