FIGURE 4 in Morphology and SSU rDNA sequences of four cyrtophorian ciliates from China, with description of a new species (Protista, Ciliophora, Phyllopharyngea)

FIGURE 4. Photomicrographs of Chlamydodon bourlandi from life (A, D, and E in bright field, B, C, F, and G by differential interference contrast), after fluorescent staining (H), and after protargol staining (I–L). A, G. Ventral views of different individuals. B. Nematodesmal rods from a compressed cell, arrowheads indicate C-shaped clasps. C. Ventral view of part of a compressed cell showing macronucleus, arrow denotes the cross-striated band. D. Cortical granules on dorsal side, arrowhead marks the pigment spot. E. Cortical granules (arrowhead) on ventral side. F. Ventral view of cell, arrowheads indicate the pigment spot. H. Macronucleus. I. Ventral view of ciliature and macronucleus. J, K. Ventral view of the anterior part of ciliature showing oral structure. L. Dorsal view of the anterior body, arrowheads indicate the terminal fragments. Abbreviations: Cocircumoral kineties; Cs—cytostome; Ma—macronucleus; NR—nematodesmal rods; Pr—preoral kinety. Scale bars: 100 μm.
