'''D:''' Bacillarian symbiont of ''Assilina ammonoides'' (Gronovius), ultrathin section oblique-tangential to the lateral surface of achamber. Note the loose stacking of the thylacoids in the chloroplast, a characteristic of symbionts of ''Assilina''. X 8,000. '''E:''' ''Elphidium craticulatum'' (Fichtel et Moll), ultrathin section through a protoplast of a chamber including one of its [[retral processes]] (double arrow), showing free chloroplasts in the host chamberplasm, a characteristic of [[symbiont husbandry]]. x 4,000. '''F:''' Rhodophycean symbionts of ''Peneroplis planatus'' (Fichtel et Moll) from Elba in the Mediterranean. Note starch grains covering the [[pyrenoid]] and filling most of the symbiont's mass. The starch grains may also appear as free grains in the host chamber plasm and represent seasonal food storage for the host. x 4,000.

'''FLAGELLUM''' - a tubular extension of the cell, reinforced with microtubuli and anchored by centrioles deep inside the protoplast of dinophycean symbionts. The short flagellae are used for locomotion in the lacunar system of the host as a device for regulating irradiation intensity in order to avoid photoinhibition.
