Figure 5 in Morphology and morphogenesis of a saline soil ciliate, Cladotricha niesseniae sp. nov. (Ciliophora, Hypotrichia)

Figure 5. Photomicrographs of Cladotricha niesseniae sp. nov. during morphogenesis, after protargol staining. (a) Ventral view of an early divider, showing oral primordium of opisthe. (b,c) Ventral views of an early divider. Arrows denote the frontoventral-transverse cirral anlagen; arrowhead marks the differentiation of opisthe's oral primordium. (d) Dorsal view to show nuclear apparatus. (e) Dorsal view; arrows depict intrakinetal development of dorsal kineties anlagen. (f) Ventral view, to denote the frontoventral-transverse cirral anlagen (arrow) and the undulating membranes anlage (arrowhead). (g,j) Dorsal views, to mark the fusion of macronuclear nodules and the dorsal kineties anlagen (arrows). (h,i) Ventral views, to show the formation of the buccal cirri (arrow in h) and marginal anlagen (arrows in i). (k, n) Dorsal views, to show macronuclear nodules, the dorsal kineties anlagen (arrows) and the caudal cirri (arrowheads). (l,m) Ventral views of a late divider, to show the formation of the ciliature. Arrow marks the newly formed adoral zone of membranelles for the opisthe. LMA, left marginal anlagen; Ma, macronuclear nodules; Mi, micronuclei; OP, oral primordium; RMA, right marginal anlagen. Scale bars: 20 μm.
