A tangential section through the cell’s surface show the pairs of basal bodies in cross section. The ends of kinetodesmal fibers point anteriorly in the cell, the postciliary ribbons arise from the ...

The division furrow of a dividing Didinium. A thick layer of epiplasm coated on the cytosolic side by mitochondria forms the constricting ring in the furrow. As usual mucocysts lie between the epiplas...

The undulating membrane is composed of two rows of basal bodies but only the outer row is ciliated. Both basal bodies are fully formed but only the ciliated member has an axosome and 9 + 2 axoneme. Th...

High resolution image of microtubules that sometimes extend deep into the cytosol from the basal bodies. They serve to guide the trichocysts to their docking sites at the plasma membrane (see Plattner...

Localization on the cell surface of Alexa Fluor-488-α factor (left, green in merge) and Sla1-RFP (center; red in merge). Within each white box, α-factor spots first appear and are subsequently joine...

Localization of Alexa Fluor-594-α-factor-labeled endosomes (center; red in merge) and Abp140-3GFP (left; green in merge) in bni1-12 bnr1Δ cell. Abp140p binds F-actin and localizes to actin patches ...
