Abstract
Caecitellus sp. is a small phagotroph belonging to the biocosoecid order of the stramenopiles. Caecitellus is found across global oceans but it's role in marine ecosystems, as with many heterotrophic flagellates, is unclear. We isolated a strain of Caecitellus (small subunit rRNA gene was 99.53% identical to Caecitellus parvulus and Caecitellus paraparvulus) from a contaminated culture of Oxyrrhis marina and assessed its amenability to transformation. Fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated to dextran was successfully introduced into Caecitellus sp. using a high voltage exponential decay pulse (1000 V, 10 µF, ∞ Ω) from a BioRad GenePulser Xcell (cuvette width 0.2 cm). Cell viability was confirmed by observing motility and fluorescence 24 h after electroporation (Figure 1). Lower voltage pulses did not result in FITC uptake. Estimates of transformation effifiency were difficult to obtain due to the small size of the cells. Unfortunately, the isolated strain of Caecitellus perished in an incubator malfunction. However, these results may be transferable to Caecitellus parvulus, a model for heterotrophic flagellates.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
