Trypanosomatids. He later expanded his studies to include marine protists, helping to contribute to the description of the dinoflagellate protists.^[3] He first coined the terms "eukaryote" and "prokaryote" in a 1925 paper,^[4] but did not elaborate on the concept; Roger Stanier and C. B. van Niel later adopted the nomenclature and popularized the classification of cellular organisms into prokaryotes and eukaryotes in a 1962 article.^[2] At the Pasteur Institute, Chatton met and became a mentor to André Michel Lwoff, future Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine. The two scientists remained associates until Chatton's death in 1947, in Banyuls-sur-Mer
