Figure 14. Apobryophyllum schmidingeri from life. (a–g) Left side views showing variability of body shape and size; (h) extrusomes attached to oral bulge; (i) detail of posterior body portion showing contractile vacuole (triangle) and extrusomes (arrow) attached to oral bulge; (j) extrusomes scattered throughout cytoplasm; (k) optical section showing macronuclear nodules and extrusomes; (l, m) left side views showing heteromorphic dorsal brush composed of short inflated bristles and ordinary somatic cilia (triangles); (n) left side view showing monokinetidal tail bristles (arrows) extending almost to posterior body end. CK, circumoral kinety; CV, contractile vacuole; DB, dorsal brush; EX, extrusomes; MA, macronuclear nodules/macronucleus; MT, monokinetidal tail bristles. Scale bars: a–g = 100 µm; h–n = 10 µm.
