Abstract

Schizochytrium limacinum sp. nov, a thraustochytrid, is described from sea water from a mangrove area of the Yap Islands in the west Pacific Ocean. It is closest to S. aggregatum, and differs from other Schizochytrium spp. in its limaciform amoeboid cells, the size of zoospores, released without an amoeboid stage, and the assimilation profile of carbon sources.
