FIGURES 32–44 in Redescription of the marine scuticociliate Glauconema trihymene Thompson, 1966 (Protozoa: Ciliophora): life cycle and stomatogenesis

FIGURES 32–44. Morphology and stomatogenesis of Glauconema trihymene, in vivo (35–37) and after protargol impregnation (32–34, 38–44). (32) Trophont, arrowhead indicates the closely spaced M1 and M2. (33–34) Tomite, arrowhead shows the anterior end of M1 located at the apical plate. (35–36) Typical form of trophont in vivo. (37) Cyst. (38) Proliferation of scutica (arrowhead). (39–40) Proliferation of first (arrowhead) and second (arrows) primordial fields. (41) Migration to anterior of SF (SFa) and the aggregation of PF (arrowhead). (42) Proliferation of kinetosomes in proter and opisthe, arrowhead shows the major portion of PF, arrow indicates the three kinetosomes originating from the PF which will join M2. (43) Rearrangement of PF (arrowhead) and SFp (arrows). (44) Cytokinesis, arrow indicates conspicuous gap between M1 and M2. Scale bars = 30
