Abstract
A membranous system associated with the cortical cilia of P. putrinum is described. A sac lies below the cortical kinetosomes and extensions from it pass along the kinetodesmal fiber to lie near or make contact with the parsomal sac, and also pass deep into the cytoplasm to pass close to a mitochondrion. Its widespread occurrence in this and other ciliates suggests that the system plays a physiologically active role.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
