魏氏拟尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器的形态及形态发生

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记和抗α-微管蛋白抗体免疫荧光标记显示,魏氏拟尾柱虫(Paraurostyla weissei)腹面皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管、纤毛器基部附属微管等组成。其中口围带基部微管包括小膜托架、小膜附属微管;额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛基部附属微管包括前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束,它们由各自的纤毛器基部向皮层细胞质不同方向发射,形成腹皮层表面下微管网。结果表明,魏氏拟尾柱虫的纤毛器骨架、纤毛器附属结构也是一类以微管蛋白为基本成分的微管胞器,其中缘棘毛基部附属微管具有不同于其他纤毛虫(例如棘尾虫)中所观察到的同种微管胞器的建构特征。形态发生中,前仔虫口围带在老结构位置形成,其结构建成与部分老口围带的更新有关;老缘棘毛的结构物质对新的左、右缘棘毛的发生可能具有定位作用及物质贡献,但此后新的左、右缘棘毛列分别在老缘棘毛的右侧形成,而并非是在老缘棘毛位置分化的。在有些细胞中,新的左缘棘毛左侧另有一列棘毛,这可能是形态发生中老的左缘棘毛退化不完全产生的。     

冠突伪尾柱虫的腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器及其形态发生

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记和抗α-微管蛋白抗体免疫荧光标记方法,显示冠突伪尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管、纤毛器基部附属微管等组成。口围带基部含小膜托架及与托架相联系的肋壁微管,其中领部小膜托架间由"∧"形微管相联接;额腹横棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束、横微管束和周围微管束,其微管在不同棘毛基部的发达程度不一,其中两列中腹棘毛基部微管紧密联系成一条粗绳索样结构,且左、右中腹棘毛基部的横微管束定向相反;左、右缘棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束,其中横微管束不发达。与目前已知的腹毛目纤毛虫例如贻贝棘尾虫、魏氏拟尾柱虫的纤毛器基部微管相比较,冠突伪尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器基部微管除具有腹毛目纤毛虫纤毛器基部微管的基本特征外,也具有一些特殊的组成模式。皮层纤毛器微管形态发生中,前仔虫口围带并非全部是由老口围带更新而来的,其老口围带只有翻领部发生更新,且翻领部与领部接续处有一小段老的翻领部小膜保留,领部的小膜保留,结果其领部小膜、接续处保留的小膜与更新的翻领部小膜三部分共同组成前仔虫的新口围带。在后仔虫口原基发生的位置,其邻近的老横棘毛没有变化,此时老的横棘毛或许能起到"参照点"或定位作用;各类纤毛器发生、分化过程中,处于非原基区的老额棘毛、横棘毛及左右缘棘毛在较长时间内均未见明显的变化。它们可能是在新结构形成时仍然起到运动作用继而逐渐失去功能而退化瓦解的。     

新伪尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器的形态和形态发生

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记法显示,腹毛目纤毛虫新伪尾柱虫(Pseudourostyla nova)腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管及纤毛器基部附属微管组成.口围带基部含小膜托架及与托架相联系的肋壁微管,其中领部小膜托架间由"Λ"形微管相联接;额腹横棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束、横微管束和周围微管束,其微管在不同棘毛基部的发达程度不一;缘棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束.同时,对新伪尾柱虫纤毛器微管胞器的形态发生和生理改组过程进行了详细的追踪研究,并对细胞皮层的额腹棘毛定位及组成特征进行了补充报道.此外,发现形态发生末期新纤毛器微管形成时,残存部分老额棘毛、横棘毛和缘棘毛,此后老结构逐渐被吸收.结果表明,新伪尾柱虫的纤毛器基部微管具有其种的特异性,新纤毛器微管分化过程中老结构可能具有定位和物质贡献作用.     

原生动物伪红色双轴虫细胞纤毛器微管胞器的直接荧光标记

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记法显示,原生动物纤毛虫伪红色双轴虫(Diaxonellapseudorubra)细胞纤毛器微管中,口围带基部含小膜托架及与托架相联系的肋壁微管;额腹横棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束、横微管束和周围微管束,其微管在不同棘毛基部的定向和发达程度不一;缘棘毛基部含前纵微管束、后纵微管束。细胞形态发生过程中,前仔虫口纤毛器微管独立发生于老口围带内侧,在细胞形态发生末期新纤毛器微管形成时,尚有部分老额棘毛、横棘毛和缘棘毛残存,此后老结构逐渐被吸收。结果表明,伪红色双轴虫的纤毛器基部微管的分化很可能具有种属级的特异性,新纤毛器微管分化过程中老结构可能具有定位和物质贡献作用。     

澳洲管膜虫纤毛器微管的荧光标记及其激光扫描共聚焦显微观察

应用激光扫描共聚焦显微术显示,由FLUTAX直接荧光标记的土壤腹毛类纤毛虫澳洲管膜虫(Cyrtohymena australis)细胞纤毛器微管中,口围带基部由小膜托架、小膜基部的微管束和托架间的连接微管构成,波动膜基部含微管骨架网,口围带后端与波动膜后端汇合处含口底托架;额、腹、横棘毛基部由前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束构成,其横棘毛基部的前纵微管束显著发达,后纵微管束也明显可见;左缘棘毛基部含发达的前纵微管束和后纵微管束,但横微管束不明显;右缘棘毛基部含发达或较发达的横微管束和前纵微管束,但未见后纵微管束。分析表明,澳洲管膜虫纤毛器基部微管的分化特征具有种的特殊性,其中左、右缘棘毛基部微管的组成及发达程度不同在其他纤毛虫中未见报道。结合已有资料推测,游仆虫类、尾柱虫类和尖毛虫类纤毛虫中基部微管的发达程度和建构特征的不同与类群间系统演化关系有关。     

原生动物贻贝棘尾虫微管胞器的荧光标记与显示

采用FLUTAX直接荧光标记和抗α微管蛋白抗体的间接免疫荧光标记显示,原生动物贻贝棘尾虫(Stylonychia mytilus)细胞微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛、左右缘棘毛、背纤毛等纤毛器微管骨架、纤毛器基部附属微管和其他皮层微管骨架组成。纤毛器微管骨架和基部附属微管按皮层纤毛模式定位;皮层左、右侧微管带和领肋壁微管等其他皮层微管构成细胞特定位置的皮层微管骨架,并可能为具有背腹分化的腹毛目纤毛虫所特有,对维持细胞背腹面的形态、支持附近纤毛器(如左、右缘棘毛)的运动起作用。本文较完整地阐述了其细胞骨架的三维构形,对于深入了解纤毛虫细胞微管骨架的结构和分布特征,进一步揭示微管类胞器的功能是有意义的。

腹毛目纤毛虫大尾柱虫腹皮层纤毛器基部微管的荧光标记

应用荧光紫杉醇直接荧光标记,显示腹毛目纤毛虫大尾柱虫Urostyla grandis腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器由口围带、波动膜、额腹横棘毛和左、右缘棘毛等纤毛器微管、纤毛器基部附属微管等组成.其中,口围带小膜托架及其相联系的肋壁微管和波动膜基体托架,额棘毛基部前纵微管束、后纵微管束及横棘毛基部前纵微管束,中腹棘毛及左、右缘棘毛基部前纵微管束、后纵微管束和横微管束,是该纤毛虫皮层纤毛器基部的主要附属微管.据结果推测,尽管腹毛目纤毛虫的纤毛器基部微管具有相同的结构成分,但其结构的组成、分化特征、定位和定向、发达程度等均有差异.所得结果为进一步说明纤毛虫细胞皮层纤毛器的形态及其微管建构的多样性提供了新的证据资料.     

Morphology,Morphogenesis, and Molecular Phylogeny of a New Soil Ciliate,Sterkiella multicirrata sp. nov. (Ciliophora,Hypotrichia) from China

The morphology and morphogenesis of a new soil hypotrich ciliate, Sterkiella multicirrata sp. nov., was investigated using live observation and protargol staining. The new species is characterised by: body elliptical, 110–180 × 45–75 μm in vivo, an average of 35 adoral membranelles; usually 19 frontoventral‐transverse cirri, consisting of three frontal, five frontoventral, one buccal, four postoral ventral, two pretransverse, and four transverse cirri; four macronuclear nodules, and 2–5 micronuclei. S. multicirrata sp. nov. differs from its congeners mainly in the number of frontoventral‐transverse cirri and macronuclear nodules. Morphogenesis of the new species is similar to its congeners; the primary difference exists in the segmentation of the frontoventral‐transverse cirral anlagen, which is usually generated in a 1:2:3:3:5:5 pattern. Based on the small subunit ribosomal DNA sequence, the phylogenetic position of the new species is discussed.     

海洋纤毛虫黄色伪角毛虫无性生殖期间的形态发生

利用蛋白银染色技术研究了海洋纤毛虫———黄色伪角毛虫Pseudokeronopsisflava (Cohn ,186 6 )Wirns berger,Larsen&Uhlig ,1987无性生殖期间的细胞发生学。其主要特征为 :1)前仔虫口原基以独立发生的方式出现并独特地形成于口前庭右侧的皮层深处 ,由其对老口围带进行完全的更新 ;2 )老口器不参与新口器的形成 ,完全被吸收 ;3)前仔虫的额 -腹 -横棘毛原基同样为独立发生 ,老结构可能不参加其随后的发育 ;4 )后仔虫的口原基、波动膜原基及额 -腹 -横棘毛原基均来自最初排列无序的毛基粒发生场 ;5 )背触毛及缘棘毛的更新发生在老的结构中 ,并向前后延伸取代老结构 ;6 )在整个发生过程中 ,无大核融合现象。文中同时对该种所表现的发生学特征及系统学意义做了探讨     

Morphology and morphogenesis of a new oxytrichid ciliate,Notohymena limus n. sp. (Ciliophora,Oxytrichidae) from Delhi,India

The morphology and morphogenesis of a new oxytrichid ciliate, Notohymena limus n. sp. were studied in vivo and after protargol impregnation. The new ciliate was isolated from the sewage sludge at Delhi Jal Board Sewage Treatment Plant located at Rithala, Delhi, India, using the non-flooded Petri dish method. N. limus n. sp. is characterized as follows: flexible dorsoventrally flattened ellipsoidal body; Notohymena-pattern undulating membranes; adoral zone of membranelles (AZM) occupied about 39% of the body length, and consists of around 26 membranelles; large and deep buccal cavity; colorless subpellicular granules present in groups and arranged around the bases of dorsal bristles; 4 macronuclear nodules; 2 micronuclei; 18 fronto-ventral-transverse (FVT) cirri in typical Oxytricha-pattern; 6 dorsal rows of bristles; 3 caudal cirri; about 16 right and 15 left marginal cirri; N. limus n. sp. is a new species on the basis of the combination of morphological, morphometric and morphogenetic characteristic features.     

Morphology and Morphogenesis of Onychodromus quadricornutus n. sp. (Ciliophora,Hypotrichida), an Extraordinarily Large Ciliate with Dorsal Horns1

The morphology and the morphogenesis of the freshwater hypotrich ciliate Onychodromus quadricornutus n. sp. have been investigated using living organisms, protargol impregnation, and scanning electron microscopy. Some preliminary and supplementary results about the morphogenesis of O. grandis and Laurentiella acuminata are included. The new species is unique among all described hypotrichs in having four dorsal horns, whose function is unknown. In addition, O. quadricornutus is probably the most voluminous hypotrich ciliate known (2 times 10^-6-5 times 10⁶μm³). Its morphogenetic pattern resembles the oxytrichids O. grandis and L. acuminata. The strongest apomorphic character, which unites these three species, is probably the multiple fragmentation of the dorsal primordia during morphogenesis. This fragmentation causes the characteristic high number and more or less irregular distribution of the dorsal kineties in the non-dividing individuals.     

多核织毛虫─新种,无性生殖周期中的形态及形态发生

本新种的典型特征为:表膜较薄但不弯曲,无表膜下颗粒;区别于该属其它种的最突出特点是具有多个大核(5.4±1.4);背触毛6列,在第3-4列之间具有一些额外散在的背触毛.口围由42.3±2.2片小膜组成;额、腹、横、尾棘毛恒为:5:5:3结构;本新种的形态发生结果与该属其它种类相同,6列新背触毛原基分别来源于背部的3列老背触毛和腹部的老右缘棘毛,在第3及第4列新背触毛列之间可见新出现并散在的几根背触毛.       

A Comparative Analysis of the Morphology and Morphogenesis of Gonostomum strenua (Engelmann, 1862) (Ciliophora, Hypotrichida) and Related Species

The morphology and morphogenesis of the hypotrichous ciliate, Gonostomum strenua, found in the soil of a hill in Qingdao (Tsingtao, 36°08’N, 120°43’E), People's Republic of China is described. Some characteristics (organization of the frontoventral cirral rows, origin of the primary primordium and arrangement of the marginal as well as transverse cirri) are sufficiently different from a closely related species Gonostomum affine to suggest that it is a separate species, though its body shape, nucleus and buccal apparatus are very similar to that of G. affine. A comparison of the infraciliatures of the two species is necessary since morphological characteristics alone are sometimes insufficient for species separation.     

Morphogenesis of Cyrtohymena tetracirrata (Ciliophora, Hypotrichia, Oxytrichidae) during binary fission

Morphogenesis during the binary fission of the oxytrichid Cyrtohymena tetracirrata was investigated using protargol silver impregnation. The main process reveals the following characteristics, which generally resemble those of its congeners: (1) the proter retains the parental adoral zone of membranelles in its entirety, while the old undulating membranes join to form the UM-anlage in the proter; (2) eight frontal, five ventral, and four transverse cirri are derived from six streaks, namely, the UM-anlage and five FVT-cirral anlagen, which are segregated in the pattern of 1:2:3:3:4:4 from these primordia from left to right, respectively; (3) the generation of the dorsal kineties is of typical Oxytricha-pattern; and (4) one caudal cirrus is formed at the posterior ends of the 1st, 2nd and 4th dorsal kinety anlagen.
