Fig. 2 in Morphological and Morphogenetic Redescriptions and SSU rRNA Gene-based Phylogeny of the Poorly-known Species Euplotes amieti Dragesco, 1970 (Ciliophora, Euplotida)

Fig. 2. Photomicrographs of Euplotes amieti Dragesco, 1970 in vivo (A–H), after protargol (I–K) and silver nitrate (L, M) impregnation. (A) Ventral view of a representative individual. Arrow points to the contractile vacuole. (B, C) Different body shapes. (D) Lateral view showing flattened body. (E) Posterior part of an individual, arrowheads show the caudal cirri and arrows indicate the left marginal cirri. (F) Numerous irregular ellipsoid to oval granules (possibly mitochondria) extremely densely packed beneath dorsal and ventral pellicle. (G) Detailed view, arrows point to the basal positions of dorsal cilia. (H) Showing the endoplasm and the typical 3-shaped macronucleus. (I) Individual with three caudal cirri (arrowheads). (J, K) Ventral (J) and dorsal (K) view of the same specimen, showing the infraciliature and nuclear apparatus. (L, M) Portion of dorsal (L) and ventral (M) silverline system. Arrow indicates the position of contractile vacuole pore. Scale bars: 100 μm.
