The shell is brownish to reddish light brown, thin-walled, elongated conical, usually with four regular convex whorls and up to 5.5 whorls in the longer specimens. The whorls are somewhat inflated, slightly shouldered, with silky and longitudinally striated surface and separated by a deep, well-marked suture, increasing rather slowly in diameter. The columella is straight, unfolded, and the umbilicus is open. The last or body whorl is almost ¾ times as high as the shell height, presenting a slight twisting trend along its basal part visible in the biggest shells when viewed dorsally, and which is due to the enlargement of the basal lip of the peristome (in the way of "Pseudosuccinea columella"). The spire is pointed. The aperture is elongatedly oval, slightly oblique, mid-sized and wider at the base. The thin peristome is patent throughout, the umbilicus is partially covered by a widened columellar lip. The shell shows a tendency to be approximately one and a half to two times as long as it is wide, and its aperture tends to be slightly less than half as long as the shell. The width of the shell is 1.39–4.31 mm. The height of the shell is 2.41–8.06 mm. The width of the aperture is 0.77–2.66 mm. The height of the aperture is 1.16–4.12 mm.

The truncated 600-cell consists of 600 truncated tetrahedra and 120 icosahedra. The truncated tetrahedral cells are joined to each other via their hexagonal faces, and to the icosahedral cells via their triangular faces. Each icosahedron is surrounded by 20 truncated tetrahedra.

The cephalopedeal mass is pale greyish. The eyes are black and relatively big in size. Tentacles are elongate, slender, pyramidal, with a narrow base. The mantle roof is dark, from dark brown to blackish throughout, with small unpigmented white-greyish round spots including several tiny circles at the beginning of the border of the pulmonary region and a few scattered further away in between the initial large round spots. The border of the mantle is light grey. The black pigmentation of the hypopeplear region of the mantle roof gave a dark appearance to the shell of living specimens by transparency. This dark appearance did not depend on the characteristics of the natural habitat, as it was maintained across the different laboratory-reared snail generations (quite the opposite of what happens with several darkish populations of other lymnaeid species under experimental conditions).

Two species that have a similar morphology: "Galba truncatula" and "Galba neotropica". "Galba schirazensis" is genetically distant but phenotypically very close to "Galba truncatula" and it has always been confused with "Galba truncatula". Although several phenotypic characteristics may a priori be helpful for a preliminary specimen classification, a definitive classification of a specimen can only be obtained by the sequencing of at least one of the molecular markers used: ribosomal DNA markers ITS-2 and ITS-1; mitochondrial DNA markers: 16S and cox1.

"Galba schirazensis" is often amphibious and there is a terrestrial trend. They are sometimes anthropophilous. Mixed populations of "Galba truncatula" and "Galba schirazensis" have already been described in the field. Self-fertilization has been verified to be the normal fertilisation process in "Galba schirazensis". They are hatching from eggs. The shape of egg cluster is kidney- to banana-like, the more curved, elongated and narrow the more numerous are the eggs inside. There are around 6–14 eggs in cluster.

Researchers believed that, unlike the similar species "Galba truncatula", "Galba schirazensis" did not transfer "Fasciola hepatica" (i.e. was not able to transmit fascioliasis). However, results published in 2017 found that "Galba schirazensis" was harbouring rediae of "Fasciola hepatica" in Ecuador and could be an intermediate host.

This hitherto overlooked species has been distorting results of fasciolid specificity/susceptibility analyses as well as the geographical distribution of the disease. "Galba schirazensis" can be used as a useful biomarker of foreign livestock introduction. "Galba schirazensis" offers an outstanding laboratory model for studies on genomics and proteomics about susceptibility/resistance in "Fasciola hepatica"/lymnaeid interaction.

Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S8P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome.

MENTHO or STARD3 N-terminal like protein (STARD3NL) is an integral membrane protein of unknown function. As the alternate name implies, MENTHO, short for "MLN64 N-terminal homologue", contains a region in its N-terminus similar to that found in STARD3, also known as MLN64, but lacks the StAR-related transfer domain (START) that characterizes all other proteins given the "STARD" (START domain-containing) name. The N-terminal domain is called a MENTAL (MLN64 N-terminal) domain.

"Dokdonia donghaensis" was discovered and isolated from the Sea of Japan in Korea from an island called Dokdo, a Korean name for the Liancourt Rocks which sovereignty is disputed between Japan and Korea; the date of isolation is not specified. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence of the organism revealed two closely related strains, DSW-1T and DSW-21. These strains are classified in "Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides" (CFB) group, which are dominant genera in marine environments. Winogradsky first described "Cytophaga"-like bacteria as unicellular, gliding, non-spore-formers, and Gram-negative rods, although the shape varies. Many "Cytophaga"-like bacterial colonies have pigment due to flexirubin-type pigments that are only found in these bacteria and flavobacteria. "Cytophaga–Flavobacteria" are chemoorganotrophs and are able to degrade biopolymers like chitin and cellulose.

"D. donghaensis" performs light-driven sodium ion transport. This light-driven proton pump is called a proteorhodopsin, which increases the organism's survival rate because it can convert light into energy that the organism needs to grow. Since the organism uses light for energy, it is a phototroph. "D. donghaensis" is able to secrete enzymes such as catalase and oxidase. Since the organism is a strict aerobe, it used oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor. The organism can grow on peptone and tryptone as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources. "D. donghaensis" cannot grow in the absence of NaCl or when it is greater than 7% (w/v); growth is optimal at 2% (w/v) NaCl. The organism is susceptible to the antibiotics tetracycline and carbenicillin, although the organism's ability to form biofilms makes it difficult for antibiotics to penetrate the viscous layers.

"D. donghaensis" is able to form biofilms in marine habitats, which is a survival strategy that allows the organism to grow while being protected from environmental stresses. Biofilm formation serves a purpose for marine bacteria in that it increases their resistance to antimicrobial agents, desiccation, and grazing. Biofilms allow the microbes to attach to surfaces by excreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Marine bacteria that adhere to surfaces form host-specific and spatially structured communities that are fairly stable.

In the 11th round came the first and only defeat of the season, against Politehnica Timişoara. Despite that, Dinamo finished second, behind Steaua. In the Romanian Cup, Dinamo reached the final, where it met Steaua. The final had an unusual development. Steaua scored first, Dinamo equalised in the 87 minute, and in the additional time Steaua scored a goal, invalidated by the referee, due to offside. Steaua players left the field, Dinamo was given the trophy, but later the Romanian F.A. (bowing to pressure from the Communist Party) awarded the match 2–1 to Steaua. After the revolution of December 1989, Steaua propositioned to return the trophy to Dinamo, which refused to take it.
