Epithelial cells (ec) of the midgut. Spiroplasmas are bacteria in the Class Mollicutes that are frequently associated with insects and/or plants. These electron micrographs show symbiotic/ commensal ...

Bundles of microtubules which compose rods that exhibit periodicity along their individual microtubules. Discoidal vesicles seem to be bound to the rod surfaces. The bundles of filaments penetrate int...

Spiroplasmas are bacteria in the Class Mollicutes that are frequently associated with insects and/or plants. This electron micrograph shows symbiotic/ commensal spiroplasma-like organisms (SLOs) in th...

A high resolution image of a longitudinal section of a somatic cilium showing the axoneme, basal body, and attached fibrous and microtubular elements. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmi...

The cytosol contains numerous vacuoles as well as symbiotic bacteria (see Heckmann, Int. Rev. Cytol. 14(suppl.):111-143, 1983 for a discussion of symbiotic bacteria in Euplotes). TEM taken on 7/24/67 ...

The contractile vacuole pore is supported on its cytosolic side by a coil of microtubules and other microtubules extend from the pore to the CV membrane. The plasma membrane and CV membrane cover the ...

The first culture of P. multimicronucleatum which I had obtained from Carolina Biological Supply House contained a bacterial endosymbiont that resided specifically in the space between the two membran...

An oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a short kinetodesmal fiber ari...

Didinium has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliated basal bodies. This section is a lon...
