THIOPLOCA ARAUCAE
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thioploca |
| Species: | Thioploca araucae |
| Description: | Flexible, uniseriate trichomes made up of numerous, vacuolated cells,generally with numerous sulfur inclusions, occur in parallel or braided fascicles, which are enclosed by a common sheath of variable width. The number of trichomes within a sheath is variable. The sheath is frequently encrusted with detritus. Individual tri- chomes show independent gliding movement, and they may emerge from the ends of sheaths or from breaks in a sheath. The long trichomes are of uniform diameter, and their terminal segments are often tapered. Trichome diameters are 30 to 43 μm. Cell length,exclusive of the terminal cell, varies from 11 to 36 μm. |
