Several stages of morphogenesis in E. lugeri were reported and the most remarkable features are characterized as follows: (1) partly renewal of adoral zone of membranelles in the proter and the parental midventral cirri do not join the construction of the opisthe’s oral primordium; (2) three or four buccal cirri each develop from one frontoventral cirral anlage and undulating membranes anlage generates two frontal cirri; (3) frontoventral cirral anlagen n and n-1 develop de novo and in the frontoterminal cirral row, respectively; (4) intrakinetal development of marginal and dorsal kineties anlagen; (5) fusion of macronuclear nodules into a single mass. }, doi = {10.4467/16890027AP.18.007.8981}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/acta-protozoologica/article/morphology-of-two-eschaneustyla-species-ciliophora-urostylida-with-notes-on-morphogenesis-of-eschaneustyla-lugeri} }
