Abstract
The microtubule system associated with the C. reinhardi flagellar apparatus differs from previous descriptions; 2 of the 4 flagellar roots possess only 2 microtubules and are associated with a finely striated fiber. In gametic cells this fiber underlies the gametic mating structure and makes contact with it. Functional interpretations are offered.
