Figure 1

1–6. General morphology and nuclear apparatus of infected and uninfected Euplotes encysticus Ind3. 1. Ventral view of the ciliate, fixed unstained specimen, DIC contrast. 2. Ventral view of the ciliate, silver-nitrate impregnation. 3. Dorsal view of the ciliate, fixed unstained specimen, DIC contrast. 4. Dorsal view of the ciliate, silver-nitrate impregnation. 5. Feulgen-staining of uninfected macronucleus. 6. Feulgen-staining of infected macronucleus. Dramatic changes in organelle shape are well visible. Ma, macronucleus; Mi, micronucleus. Bars = 15 μm (1, 3), 10 μm (2, 4, 5, 6).
