caption_attribution_description: English: Figure 2 of paper Chromidina chattoni Souidenne, Florent and Grellier, 2016: morphology. (A, B) General views of tropho-tomonts. (C) Bulb-like head of tropho-tomont. (D, E) Palintomy with first generation of protomites (E) and second generation of protomites (D), arrows: protomites. (F) Bulb-like head of tropho-tomont. Note the presence of large and darkly-stained spots of chromatin associated with the head. (G) Ciliature consisting of 13 kineties (zoom of Fig. 2F). (H–I) Small forms of tropho-tomonts. Images were obtained from smears stained with haematoxylin. (A–I) Hapantotype and parahapantotypes.
context_page_description: Édouard Chatton was a French biologist who first characterized the distinction between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cellular types. Chatton invented the terms and published them first in his 1925 paper, Pansporella perplex: Reflections on the Biology and Phylogeny of the Protozoa.
  Chatton's initial interest was in various human pathogenic protozoa, members of the Apicomplexa and Trypanosomatids. He later expanded his studies to include marine protists, helping to contribute to the description of the dinoflagellate protists. At the Pasteur Institute he met and became a mentor to André Michel Lwoff, future Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine. The two scientists remained associates until Chatton's death in 1947.
