Mayorella marianaensis is a
amoebae with a thick glycocalyx.[2]
Discovery
Cells of Mayorella marianaensis were isolated and cultivated from deep-sea sediments at a depth of 3,144 meters in the vicinity of the
phylogenetic analyses using SSU rRNA genes. The results were published by Xiaoli Lei, Xiaojuan Chen, Jianming Chen and Chen Liang in the journal Protist in June 2023.[1]
Morphology
Mayorella marianaensis locomotive
plasma membrane is around 190 to 290 nm thick and consists of two layers: an outer layer, loosely arranged, with its surface covered with hairs called glycostyles; and an inner layer, closely arranged in stripes.[1]
