Description Cells spherical to pyriform-cordate with apical depression (4–6 μm). Flagella 6–9 μm and haptonema 1.5–2 μm. Two types of scales, the largest with an erected rim. A non-motile gelatinous, colonial stage in its life cycle. Colonies spherical with cells evenly distributed along the surface of the colony (Throndsen, 1993). Four different cell types can be distinguished in the life cycle of P. globosa: (i) the haploid microflagellate (3.1 ± 0.1 μm), (ii) the haploid mesoflagellate (4.2 ± 0.1 μm), (iii) the diploid acroflagellate(6–7 μm) which is Kornmann’s ‘Makrozoospore’ (Kornmann, 1955), and (iv) the diploid non-flagellate colonial cell (6.1 ± 0.2 μm) (Peperzak et al., 2000). Baumann et al (1994) found the colonies to be up to 8-9 mm, with the cells evenly distributed in the periphery of the colonies. [details]
LSID urn:lsid:algaebase.org:taxname:46432 [details]From regional or thematic species database
Distribution Present evidence indicates that this species occurs almost world wide, including the Tropics, but perhaps excluding the poles. Baumann et al (1001) found it to grow in a temperature window of 4-22 deg C. [details]
Harmful effect P. globosa was reported to form toxins in China (Qi et al. 2002). However, the short abstract published only mentions that hemolysin (s) was formed. [details]
Identification Phaeocystis globosa is identified best by its spherical colonies. It occurs in many parts of the world in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions and colonies may attain a size of 8-9 mm.. Cells are regularly spaced in the colonies, not in groups as in P. pouchetii. Phaeocystis antarctica from the Antarctic is similar, and molecular sequencing is needed to separate the two species.
