The genus Myxidium (Protozoa: Myxosporida) in macrourid fishes. 1976

M Moser, and E R Noble, and R S Lee

Five species, 3 new, of myoxosporida in the genus Myxidium were recovered from 7 genera and 23 species of deepsea macrourids. Although some Myxidium species were geographically dispersed they showed remarkable spore size stability. Two forms, "long" and "stubby" are described for M. coryphaenoidium. Abnormal M. coryphaenoidium spores are shown to resemble superficially other species and genera.

D056890	Eukaryota	One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and ARCHAEA), also called Eukarya. These are organisms whose cells are enclosed in membranes and possess a nucleus. They comprise almost all multicellular and many unicellular organisms, and are traditionally divided into groups (sometimes called kingdoms) including ANIMALS; PLANTS; FUNGI; and various algae and other taxa that were previously part of the old kingdom Protista.
