Fig. 4 in Integrative Studies on the Morphology, Morphogenesis and Molecular Phylogeny of a Soil Ciliate, Parakahliella macrostoma (Foissner, 1982) Berger et al., 1985 (Ciliophora, Hypotrichia)

Fig. 4. Photomicrographs of Parakahliella macrostoma pop.2 from life (A–E) and after protargol staining (F–J). (A) ventral view of typical individual. (B, C) ventral views of the anterior portion showing adoral zone of membranelles in B and contractile vacuole in C. (D) a different individual under the polarizing microscope (POL) showing the crystals in the cytoplasm. (E) lateral view in vivo. (F) anterior body portion in ventral view; dotted ellipses indicate the buccal and parabuccal cirri; also showing the frontal cirri, endoral, paroral, and adoral zone of membranelles. (G) a part of body in ventral view, arrow indicates the left frontoventral row, arrowhead marks the right frontoventral row. (H) dorsal view of the posterior portion showing caudal cirri. (I) body portion in dorsal view showing macronuclear nodules, arrowheads mark the dorsal kineties. (J) anterior body portion in dorsal view showing dorsal kineties. AZM, adoral zone of membranelles; BC, buccal cirri; CC, caudal cirri; CV, contractile vacuole; E, endoral; FC, frontal cirri; Ma, macronuclear nodules; P, paroral; PBC, parabuccal cirri; 1–5, dorsal kineties. Scale bars: 80 μm in A, 60 μm in D, E and 30 μm in F.
