Source material. A. Features of Astrammina rara morphology. Individual organisms consist of a large cell with a durable theca (T), encased in a loosely bound agglutinated outer covering that can be removed (as in this image) without injuring the cell. Vegetative individuals usually have a single nucleus (N) that is often 0.5 mm in diameter or more, although multinucleate individuals, with approximately 20-30 smaller nuclei, are also observed. B. Products of WGA on an A. rara nuclear template. Left: A. rara DNA, 5 nuclei. Center: Positive control (purified DNA from the foraminiferan Allogromia laticollaris and associated organisms). Right: Negative control.
