Scanning electron micrographs of microbial eukaryotes from the water-column haloclines of Urania and Discovery Basins in the Eastern Mediterraean Sea. (A) A scuticociliate morphotype consistently associated with epibiotic bacteria (B) that has been found to be the most abundant eukaryotic morphotype in the Urania halocline [45]; (B) A flagellate in Urania halocline. (C) A larger ciliate associated with long (10–20 µm), thin, filamentous bacteria, which was the most abundant eukaryotic morphotype in the Discovery halocline [45]. Scale bars = 2 µm.
