Morphologic changes in the model tintinnid Schmidingerella (Alveolata, Ciliophora) during the cell cycle, including the first volumetric analyses of the lorica-forming material

Abstract Background Tintinnids are marine planktonic ciliates with tube-shaped or vase-shaped loricae (shells). During the cell cycle, lorica-forming material (LFM) is generated and accumulates in the proter (anterior division product). After transverse fission, the proter leaves the lorica and subs...
