FIGURE 1. F. leucas from life (a–c, g) and after silver staining (d–f). Ventral-lateral view (a–c). Infraciliatures of the ventral (d), dorsal (e) and buccal (f) areas. Part of pellicle, to show extrusomes (g). Abbreviations: AL: argentophilic line; C: Cilia; CC: collecting canal; CV: contractile vacuole; D: diatom; E: extrusome; EP: excretory pore; FA: filamentous algae; FV: food vacuole; Ma: macronucleus; Mi: micronucleus; OA: oral apparatus; P1-P3: peniculi 1, 2, and 3; PK: postoral kineties (arrowheads in f); PM: paroral membrane; PoS: postoral suture; PrS: preoral suture; VK1-3: vestibular kineties 1, 2, and 3.
