diodilla
Diodilla is a fictional genus of microscopic marine protists used in speculative biology and worldbuilding. The name is derived from the prefix dia- and a diminutive suffix -dilla, intended to evoke small, dual-lobed cells.
Description: Diodilla cells are typically 20–40 micrometers long, with an ovoid to spindle shape and two short
Habitat and distribution: In fictional accounts, diodilla is found in cold-water hydrothermal plumes and nutrient-rich sediment
Ecology and life cycle: Diodilla reproduce asexually by binary fission; a sexual phase is occasionally described
Significance: In worldbuilding, diodilla is often used to explore themes of biohybrid systems and nano-bio interfaces,
