Infraciliature, système myonémique, argyrome et bipartition de l'Astylozoon pyriforme (Ciliophora, Peritrichida)

Abstract

Astylozoon pyriforme is a stalkless peritrich whose ciliature is restricted to the oral region and reduced to a few aboral bristles at the posterior pole. As in other peritrichs, the infraciliature is located in two zones, oral (peristome and infundibulum) and aboral (trochal band and scopule). We also observed an epistomial membrane located in the region where the peristomial infraciliature begins, to the right of the haplokinety. The myonemic system of this ciliate has three parts: an oral myonemic ring, a peristomial myonemic network, and longitudinal myonemes. The argyrome consists of 35 to 40 thin concentric striations that surround the cell but not the peristome. During the stomatogenic process, the germinal kinety and the haplokinety are the origin of the new buccal structures, as in other peritrichs.

Infraciliature and myoneme system of Campanella umbellaria (Protozoa, Ciliophora, Peritrichida)

“…Previous studies on the peritrich myoneme system have been carried out on a variety of taxa, including: Opisthonecta spp., Carchesium polypinum, Epicarchesium granulatum, Epistylis plicatilis, Heteropolaria colisarum, Vorticella spp., Hastatella spp., and Astylozoon spp. (Wang, 1950;Bradbury, 1965;Zagon, 1970;Foissner, 1977;Foissner and Schubert, 1977;Fernandez-Leborans, 1982;Sola et al, 1985;Guinea and Fernandez-Galiano, 1987;Guinea et al, 1988;Fernandez-Galiano and Carrascosa, 1989;Foissner et al, 1992;Leitner and Foissner, 1997). and is now routinely included in studies of peritrich morphology (Foissner et al, 1992, and references therein).…”
