From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Euglena viridis is a freshwater, single cell, mixotroph microalgae bearing a secondary chloroplast.[1] Their chloroplast is bounded by three layers of membrane without a nucleomorph.[2] Normally, it is 40–65 μm long, slightly bigger than other well-known Euglena species: Euglena gracilis.[3]
