Looking for a information about Vorticella morphology - reserve granules

01 January 1970 1 6K Report

Hi, I am looking for some information about Vorticella morphology. In some Vorticellas I found lot of granules I think it is a reserve granules but I am not sure. Some publications called they as " refractile reserve granules" - what does it mean? What does they large numer mean? Also why are they iridescent yellow sometimes?

Anna Maria Labecka

Kasia, they look like granules with stored substances, but what is inside? You should do specific staning to detect e.g. carbohydrates. These granules reflactile and therefore they are iridescent (especially when you observe moving Vorticella). Best, Ania
