Identification Chrysochromulina leadbeateri is a small round species of Chrysochromulina with two unequal length flagella (13-16 and 16-20 µm long) and a slightly longer haptonema (20-24 µm long). Cells are covered with round scales of two types, and some variation in scale morphology has been reported, compare Estep et al. (1984) with Leadbeater (1972). The species may be identified with electron microscopy or molecular sequencing. [details]

Identification Chrysochromulina leadbeateri ia´´ is a small round species (3-8 µm long) with slightly unequal flagella (13-16 and 16-20 µm long) and a longer haptonema (20-24 µm long). Cells are covered with two different types of round organic scales and some variation in scale morphology has been reported in details can be seen only in the electron microscope. compare Estep (1984) with Leadbeater (1972). The species may be identified with electron microscopy or molecular sequencing. [details]

From editor or global species database
Description Cells are very small and spherical, measuring only 3-8 micrometer in diameter. The two flagella are slightly unequal in length, measuring 13-16 and 16-20 micrometer in length. The coiling haptonema is ca 20 micrometer long. Cells are covered with species-specific organic scales of two types. For critical identification of the species the scales need to be identified, using transmission electron microscopy, see Eikrem& Throndsen 1998 for illustrations of the scales. [details]

From regional or thematic species database
Distribution Known from the North Atlantic, Norway Tasmania, New Zealand and the Antarctic, and therefore probably worldwide in temperate or cold water. [details]
