Notes

Oral infraciliature is constituted by left and right fields. The steps of stomatogenesis are observed by optic and electronic microscopy. The right primordium is formed by a proliferation of kinetosomes of a single cinetie. The left primordium is formed by a proliferation of kinetosomes of 3-4 cineties. The left primordium is formed by a proliferation of kinetosomes of 3-4 cineties. The right field is always disorganized. In the left one, the kinetosomes are arranged in 3 or 4 groups of 3 rows kinetosomes. The rows become equidistant and parallel. Every kinetosome is associated with a postciliary microtubule or a postciliary ribbon. The postciliary fibers are convergent except when they are formed by posterior kinetosomes.
