| morphological and molecular characterization of aspidisca hongkongensis spec. nov. (ciliophora, euplotida) from the south china sea. | the morphology and infraciliature of a new ciliate, aspidisca hongkongensis spec. nov., a large marine form isolated from the coastal waters near hong kong, were investigated. it differs from the congeners by the combination of cell size (about 90 x 60 microm in vivo), 9-11 conspicuous dorsal ridges, one fine and seven strong frontoventral cirri, six membranelles in anterior portion of adoral zone, and 17-23 membranelles in posterior portion of adoral zone. the comparison with similar congeners ... | 2010 | 20303717 |
