Fig. 3 in Cortical Localization of α- and γ-Tubulin and the Assembly of Cortical Microtubule Cytoskeleton in Hypotrichous Ciliate Euplotes eurystomus

Fig. 3. (A–C) Projection of optical section passing through the ventral surface of E. eurystomus cells decorated with the FLUTAX. Scale: 20 μm. (A) All the ventral ciliary organelles, and especially their base-associated microtubules, were strongly and clearly stained by FLUTAX (ALM: anterior longitudinal microtubules; PLM: posterior longitudinal microtubules; TM: transverse microtubules; PM: peripheral microtubules). (B) The microtubules associated with the adoral ciliary organelles were also marked by FLUTAX (SMB: small membranelle bracket; hollow arrow shows the microtubule fasolculus extending from the base of SMB; white arrow shows the microtubules in the adoral rib; black arrow shows the UM ciliary base–associated microtubules). (C) The FLUTAX decorated the short microtubular bundles between the bases of TCs (arrow).
