Scientific Name	Brachiola algerae
Specimen Condition	Dead Specimen
Life Cycle Stage	developmental stage - meront (vegetative cell)
Body Part	note two nuclei in diplokaryon configuration (N,N), atypical Golgi zone (G) and cytoplasm rich in ribosomes. The plasma membrane is covered with tubular glykocalyx material charateristic for the genus Brachiola.
