Intercalary strip development and dividing cell morphogenesis in the euglenidCyclidiopsis acus

Officers

“…Such spatial progression would be consistent with intercalary strip development in Euglena gracilis (Hofmann & Bouck 1976), and with vec torial growth of the epiplasmic layer in the canal of Cyclidiopsis acus, as documented by Mignot et at. (1987).…”

“…(Mignot et al 1987). Conformity of flagellar positions and shapes to one another and to the contour of the right-left flattened canal boundary suggests that pellicular and flagellar root micro-tubular bands lend support to a relatively rigid canal.…”

Ultrastructural Alterations in Lepocinclis acus (Euglenophyta) Induced by Medium with High Organic Matter Content

“…Moreover, since strip replication may occur independently of cytokinesis, it would be erroneous to consider the number of strips in a clone as a valid systematic character in euglenoids (Mignot, 1965;Sommer and Blum, 1965;Mignot et al, 1987). In asexual organisms as the ones studied in which systematic determination is mainly based on morphological characteristics, these changes are particularly troubling.…”

Ultrastructure and assembly of the scale case inSynura(Synurophyceae Andersen)

“…Comparisons can be made with other organisms, such as euglenoid flagellates, that have helicoidal surface structures (Hofmann & Bouck, 1976;Mignot, Brugerolle &-Bricheux, 1987). In Euglena and Cyclidiopsis pellicular strips replicate _prior to division, and daughter cells receive equal portions of old and new strips.…”
