Cell Covering of Ceratium
نویسنده
چکیده
In this, the first of three consecutive papers, the complex cell covering of Ceratium tripos is examined at different stages of development. During eytokinesis, the cleavage furrow is surrounded by a system of membranes which, together with the theeal plates, will comprise the future cell covering. The outermost membrane completely surrounds the cell and lies over a single layer of large flattened vesicles. An additional membrane, the theeal membrane, lies within the vesicles just below the region of eventual plate formation. The thecal membrane gradually becomes discontinuous in mature cells. Sutures are observed during the initial differentiation of the cell covering. Near the completion of cytokinesis, the portion of cytoplasm still joining the daughter cells is enclosed by only one membrane of the cell covering, the plasma membrane.

Neoceratium gen. nov., a new genus for all marine species currently assigned to Ceratium (Dinophyceae).
The dinoflagellate genus Ceratium contains marine and freshwater species. Freshwater species possess six cingular plates, thick plates in the concave ventral area and usually develop a third hypothecal horn. The marine Ceratium species (>62 species) possess five cingular plates and thin plates in the concave ventral area; a third hypothecal horn is atypical. Resting cysts, a common feature in t...

An unusual bloom of Ceratium furcoides is reported for a station of the Taquacetuba compartment of the Billings Reservoir. The appearance of this bloom is attributed to the mixing and turbulence of the water column that removed Ceratium cysts from the surface of the sediment and promoted conditions for the growth of this species in the region of mixing. Cold fronts approaching the Billings Rese...

Ceratium hirundinella is considered as a biological indicator in the environmental and climate changes. In the summer of 2018, the presence of Ceratium hirundinella reported in the Iranian region of the Caspian Sea. So the present study conducted to survey trend of Ceratium hirundinella fluctuations in the Iranian basin of the Caspian Sea during the last 3 decay. The study showed that in the wi...
متن کاملFine structure of the longitudinal flagellum in Ceratium tripos, a marine dinoflagellate.
The fine structure of the longitudinal flagellum in Ceratium tripos, which performs not only undulations but also retractions, has been examined in both the retracted and relaxed states. Although conventional fixation always triggered retraction, the flagellum was found to remain relaxed when it was washed briefly with Ca2+-free medium prior to fixation. Previous light-microscopic investigation...
