Macro- & Micronucleus
Description:
Description: Diagonal view to avoid superimposition of nucleus and adhesive disk. Specimen stained with methyl-green to point out micronucleus (arrowhead). The large micronucleus lies at the outside of the c-shaped macronucleus. The macronucleus is found in the transverse axis of the cell, almost circular. Specimens were found on Eudiaptomus vulgaris, a common copepod. The conspicuous adhesive disk is located at the aboral side of the cell and, functioning as a holdfast organelle, attaches the ciliate to the surface of itâs host.
