Halocafeteria seosinensis Park et al. 2006 ( Figs 2p View Fig , 3r View Fig )
Cells are 5–7 µm long and somewhat flexible with a shallow depression located laterally. The cells have a hyaline granule located posteriorly. Two flagella are 1.5–2 times the cell length, and emerge subapically at an acute angle like a small snout like protrusion. The cells swim with both flagella beating. Description based on observations of 6 cells. Occurance: every month with the exception of July and August at Meke Lake, temperature 0–21 °C, salinity 107.5–215 psu, dissolved oxygen 0.25–5.18 mg /L.
Remarks: Our observations are consistent with the description of Park et al. (2006). This species resembles Cafeteria minuta . However, unlike Cafeteria minuta , Halocafeteria seosinensis displays a jumping movement. Having this unique jumping movement Halocafeteria seosinensis also closely resembles Bodo saltans , but differs from B. saltans morphologically by its relatively shorter posterior flagellum. This species was first reported in Korea with 3–5 µm size range and later observed in the cultures from Australia, USA and in saline environments of Poland ( Park et al. 2006, Park and Simpson 2015).
