Minakatella longifila is a species of slime mold from the order of the Trichiida and the only species of the genus Minakatella .
description
The sessile or nearly sessile fruiting bodies are densely clustered sporocarps that can be combined to form a pseudoaethalium . The approximately round sporocarp have a diameter of 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters, the pseudo-ethers up to 2 millimeters. The peridium is membranous and iridescent .
The scalp consists of 1.5 to 2 micrometers thick, smooth to rough or prickly, hollow, curled threads, the walls of which are unevenly thick and which end in bulbous thickenings at the ends. Two or three of the threads converge in flatter, widened connections on which bacteria or plasma residues can often be found.
The spores are red-brown as a mass, individually pale red. Eight to fourteen of the spores, which are covered with fine, pale warts, adhere to one another; the sculptures are particularly clear in the outward-facing areas. The spores are 10 to 11 micrometers in diameter. Occasionally they glow in polarized light.
distribution
The known area of the species extends from North America (USA) to Asia (Japan, Taiwan).
Systematics and research history
Species and genus were first described in 1921 by Guilielma Lister . Some authors ( Nannenga-Bremekamp , Baumann et al.) Understand them as a separate family Minakatellaceae.
