Infraciliature of the common marine scuticolciliate, Uronema marinum (DUJARDIN,1841). The red,yellow and green arrowheads indicate the 1st,2nd and 3rd adoral membranelle respectively. the blue arrowhead indicates the right paraoral membrane. Collected from effluent of the protein skimmer of a commercial marine aquarium in Boise, Idaho. January 2007.Stained by a silver carbonate technique for marine ciliates.

Portrait of the common marine scuticociliate, Uronema marinum (DUJARDIN,1841). The large spherical macronucleus (MN) is just anterior to the cell center. The oral apperatus is indicated by the yellow arrowhead. The small subterminal contractile vacuole is indicated by the green arrowhead. A food vacuole is indicated by the red arrowhead. The long terminal cilium is indicated by the light blue arrowhead. Collected from effluent of the protein skimmer of a commercial marine aquarium in Boise, Idaho. January 2007. DIC.

Infraciliature of the common marine scuticolciliate, Uronema marinum (DUJARDIN,1841). The red,yellow and green arrowheads indicate the 1st,2nd and 3rd adoral membranelle respectively. The light blue arrowhead indicates the unciliated kinetosomes of the scutica. The pink arrowhead indicates the linear cytopyge posterior to the scutica. Collected from effluent of the protein skimmer of a commercial marine aquarium in Boise, Idaho. January 2007.Stained by a silver carbonate technique for marine ciliates.
