Figure 5. Photomicrographs of Loxophyllum apochlorelligerum sp. nov. in life (A–H) and after silver proteinate staining (I–M). A, left view of a typical individual; the arrow shows the contractile vacuole. B, D, G, shape variants; the arrows point to the contractile vacuole. C, posterior end; the arrows indicate extrusomes. E, macronuclear nodules. F, details of cytoplasm; the arrows indicate extrusomes. H, surface of pellicle; the arrows indicate cortical granules. I, nuclear apparatus; the arrow indicates the micronucleus. J, right view. K, anterior portion of left side; the arrow indicates perioral kinety 1; the arrowhead marks the dorsal brush kinety. L, left view. M, details of left side; the arrows indicate the left somatic kineties. Abbreviation: Ma, macronucleus. Scale bars: 75 µm in A, J, L; 80 µm in B, D, G.
