Fig. 3b: dikinetid near cell surface

Another dikinetid shows the transverse microtubular ribbon (tr mt) as well as a postciliary ribbon (pc mt) extending from the posterior basal body. Vesicles containing electron opaque bodies are typically found next to basal bodies. A peroxisome is also present (per). In this section a pattern of cross-hatched microtubules lies under the pellicle. m, mitochondrion; arrows, rosettes of glycogen; bact, symbiotic bacterium. EM taken on 8/3/67 by R.
