  2. Dunaliella Salina

    Linked via "osmotic adjustment"

    Cellular Morphology and Physiology
    The D. salina cell is typically ellipsoidal or ovoid, lacking the rigid cell wall characteristic of many related Chlorophyta. This absence of a cell wall is hypothesized to be an evolutionary adaptation allowing for rapid osmotic adjustment in fluctuating salt concentrations [2]. The cell possesses two flagella of unequal length, originating from an anterior [apical groove](/entries/…
