Ultrastructure of Anaulus creticus Drebes & Schulz with special reference to its reduced ocelli. 1984

D Schulz, and G Drebes, and H Lehmann, and R Jank-Ladwig

The ultrastructure of the vegetative cell of the centric diatom Anaulus creticus Drebes & Schulz is described. Exhibiting the organic wall component (diatotepum) separated from the siliceous parts of the cell wall this species belongs to the diatom group with so-called split-walls [17]. A most interesting feature of the Anaulus cell is the horn region and its internal structure. As there is no silicified sieve-plate at the horn top but just a big hole sealed only by a thin diatotepum with a hexagonal meshwork, this wall structure is termed a "reduced ocellus". The inner part of the horn region is largely occupied by a conspicuous protoplasmic plug of proteinaceous nature. The possible function of this peculiar structure is discussed as well as new ideas about the role of the labiate process are provided.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D056890 Eukaryota One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and ARCHAEA), also called Eukarya. These are organisms whose cells are enclosed in membranes and possess a nucleus. They comprise almost all multicellular and many unicellular organisms, and are traditionally divided into groups (sometimes called kingdoms) including ANIMALS; PLANTS; FUNGI; and various algae and other taxa that were previously part of the old kingdom Protista.
