Structure et Origine du Pedoncule chez Chilodochona.

Abstract
SUMMARY. The peduncle of the chonotrichous ciliate Chilodochona is composed of a bundle of protein fibers secreted by intracytoplasmic glandular ampullae. This process, very different from that involved in production of the peduncle in the peritrichous ciliates, also is found, although with a simpler result, among the Dysteriidae, a highly evolved family of gymnostomes closely related to the chonotrichs.
