Foraminifera are testate organisms, which means that they have shells (tests). The protoplasm covers the exterior of the test. The simplest shapes are tubes or spheres. The tests are divided into ... A distinguishing structure in Foraminifera is the foramen, a hole that connects the wall (septa) between each chamber.

Wall structure and growth of fusulinacean foraminifera from Journal of Paleontology provided by Find Articles at BNET ... Carter, 1990). The wall structure of fusulinacean foraminifera, however, has been studied very little by this method of investigation. Calcite cement that has overgrown nearly all the internal surfaces of...

We have examined the structure and evolution of polyubiquitin genes from two important, yet evolutionarily enigmatic, protist lineages, Cercozoa and Foraminifera.

The gene structure indicates that processing likely cleaves monomers at the amino terminus of the insertion. ... This character strongly suggests that Cercozoa and Foraminifera are close relatives and form a new "supergroup" of eukaryotes.

The hyaline foraminifera add a new lamella to the entire test each time a new chamber is formed; various types of lamellar wall structure have been recognised, the wall is penetrated by fine pores and hence termed perforate.

"A standardized technique is described for the observation of the wall structure of whole specimens, crushed fragments and thin sections of foraminifera immersed in xylene under polarized light, and for the optical distinction of radial hyaline from granular calcareous test walls."
