Free-living Heterotrophic Flagellates from Intertidal Sediments of Saros Bay, Aegean Sea (Turkey) Author Aydin, Esra Elif Author Lee, Won Je text Acta Protozoologica 2012 51 2 119 137 https://www.mendeley.com/catalogue/6cf3745c-7fc3-3086-8e0b-e266c329ac0d/ journal article 10.4467/16890027AP.12.010.0514 1689-0027 13192960 Developayella elegans Tong 1995 ( Figs 1j , 2i ) Observation: Cells are oval and 4–6 μm long. The cells have two flagella emerging from a depression in the right anterior part of the cell. Both flagella are about the cell length. In attached cells the anterior flagellum is held in a curve and beats slowly up and down, and the posterior one beats rapidly with a shallow excursion. Move by swimming. Two cells found. Remarks: Our observations are in agreement with the descriptions of Tong (1995) and Lee and Patterson (2000) . When this species attaches to the subtrate it can be easily distinguished from other small flagellates because of its flagellar beating pattern. It has been described from subtropical Australia , England and Korea with the cell length of 3.5–10 μm ( Patterson and Simpson 1996 ; Tong 1995 ; Tong 1997a , b; Tong et al. 1998 ; Lee and Patterson 2000 ; Al-Qassab et al. 2002 ; Lee 2001 , 2002).
