Loriciferan Spinoloricus cinziae, from L’Atalante imaged with differential interference contrast (DIC) (a, c) and DAPI (b, d). a, b Specimen from normoxic control sediments (611c3). Mouth cone (white arrow), lorica spines (black arrow), and scalids (black arrowhead) are visible in (a). Further images are shown in Additional file 1. c, d Specimen from L’Atalante lower halocline sediments (611c14). Mouth cone (white arrow) and scalids (black arrowhead) are visible in (c).
