Fig. 3 in Taxonomic and Morphogenetic Description of the Freshwater Ciliate Aponotohymena isoaustralis n. sp. (Ciliophora; Oxytrichidae) Isolated from Sanjay Lake, Delhi, India

Fig. 3. Line diagrams showing morphogenetic stages on ventral surface of protargol impregnated cells of Aponotohymena isoaustralis n. sp. A, B – origin of OP apokinetally between the LMC and POVC for the opisthe; C – reorganization of parental UM (arrow), disaggregation of II/2 (arrowhead), III/2 (double arrowhead) and V/4 (double arrow) to form primordia IIp, IIIp and Vo respectively, kinetosomes from OP form primordia Io and IIo; D – dissagregation of IV/3 to form primordium IVp (arrow); kinetosomes from OP move anteriorly (arrowhead); the two primary primordia, one each formed from disaggregation of V/4 and V/3 split transversely (double arrow) to form primordia V and VI for proter and opisthe; E – full complement of 6 FVT primordia Ip to VIp (arrowhead) and Io to VIo (double arrowhead); F – within-row marginal primordia formation for RMC (arrowheads) and LMC (double arrowheads); G – differentiation of cirri in 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 pattern; H – late divider showing formation of new dorsomarginals (arrowheads) close to newly formed RMC. LMC – left marginal cirri; OP – oral primordium. Scale bar: 20 µm.
