Notes
The cortical ultrastructure of Phacodinium metchnicoffi reveals an original and unusual disposition of the somatic kinetosomes. The somatic kineties are made of a succession of grouped an aligned kinetosomes (8 to 12), each of them having every of its microtubular and fibrillar derivatives. The existence of retrodesmal fibers and the direction of kinetodesmal ones can be specially noticed as well as ciliary microtubular roots and microtubules both perpendicular to kinetosomes. A comparison with other Heterotriches cortical organization has been done.
