Description Spherical cells with 1’ plate large and widened toward the ventral side, with lateral sides almost parallel, and plate 7’’ large and five-sided. The apical pore is variable in length (7–12 μm long), narrow and has a narrow slit with smooth edges. Plates are smooth with round pores of a relatively large size (0.43 μm in diameter). Size: 23–40 μm long, 25–39 μm wide. [details]

Description Spherical cells with 1’ plate large and widened toward the ventral side, with lateral sides almost parallel, and plate 7’’ large and five-sided. The apical pore is variable in length (7–12 μm long), narrow and has a narrow slit with smooth edges. Plates are smooth with round pores of a relatively large size (0.43 μm in diameter). Size: 23–40 μm long, 25–39 μm wide. [details]Harmful effect Methanolic extracts of a strain of C. tropicalis from Platypus Bay, Australia previously identified as C. monotis were toxic to mice after intraperitoneal injection and the toxin was called Cooliatoxin. It was suggested that Cooliatoxin could be an analog of Yessotoxin but it was not proved. In fact, according to Mohammad-Noor et al. (2013), the cooliatoxin-producing species is C. tropicalis and not C. monotis. [details] Identification Comparatively fewer pores than in C. monotis. [details] |
