In this contribution we group the operator basis for d2-dimensional Hilbert space in a way that enables us to relate bases of entangled states with single-particle mutually unbiased state bases (MUB), each in dimensionality d. We utilize these sets of operators to show that an arbitrary density matrix for this d2-dimensional Hilbert-space system is analyzed via d2+d+1 measurements, d2d of which involve those entangled states that we associate with MUB of the d-dimensional single-particle constituents. The number d2+d+1 lies in the middle of the number of measurements needed for bipartite state reconstruction with two-particle MUB (d2+1) and those needed by single-particle MUB [(d2+1)2].
