Description: Pyrocystis Lunula

Pyrocystis lunula is a bioluminescent dinoflagellate that typically appears in a moonlike crescent shape. Here, however, the cell has been caught in the act of reproduction by division. Two nuclei are visible, one seen above and the other below the central knot of plastid organelles, which keys metabolic activities like photosynthesis.
