FIGURE 2 in Description of a new marine cyrtophorid ciliate, Brooklynella sinensis n. sp. from the China Sea with a new definition of the genus Brooklynella (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Cyrtophorida)

FIGURE 2. Photomicrographs of Brooklynella sinensis n. sp. from live cells (A–C), after protargol (D–J, M–P) and Chatton­Lwoff impregnation (K–L). (A) Ventral view of a typical individual, arrow indicates the podite. (B) Dorsal view. (C) Ventral view, showing the two contractile vacuoles (arrows). (D, M) Infraciliature, arrows mark posterior ends of right kineties. (E) Showing the equatorial fragment (arrow) and postoral kineties (arrowheads). (F) Right­ventral side view, arrows mark the three kineties extending apically. (G) Dorsal views, arrow refers to the terminal fragment. (H) An individual in early morphogenetic stage, to note the three thickened primordium (arrow). (I) Showing the two contractile vacuole pores (arrows). (J) To note the cytostome (arrow) encircled by kinetosome­like dots. (K, L) Silverline system. (N) Dorsal view, showing the terminal fragment (arrow) and cyrtos (arrowhead). (O) Showing the two adjacent contractile vacuole pores (arrow) and kinetosome­like dots (arrowhead) at the base of podite. (P) Focus on the cytostome (arrow) and kinetosome­like dots (arrowhead) near the posterior contractile vacuole pore. Cy = cyrtos; Ma = macronucleus. Scale bars = 20 m.
