Topic: Extrusome



  
 Tree of Life Glossary
Said of organisms which are active and feeding, and contrasts with the encysted state, theronts, or swarmers.
They may be supported internally (actinopods) or not (rhizopoda), they may be thread like (filose) or broad (lobose), may or may not bear extrusomes (nudipodia, extrusopodia) and they may be one (monopodial) to many (polypodial) produced at one time.
A system involving a sac and channels and found in some dinoflagellates.

 Extrusome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Extrusomes are membrane-bound structures in some eukaryotes which, under certain conditions, discharge their contents outside the cell.
nematocysts found in Cnidarian animals may be regarded as extrusomes as well.
Notable extrusomes include mucocysts, which discharge a mucous mass sometimes used in cyst formation, and trichocysts, which discharge a fibrous rod.

 Palaeos Eukarya: Glossary C-E
Extrusomes may be used for protection or prey capture.
extrusome : An ejectable organelle, located within the cell; the contents of which can be extruded.
In Ciliophora, the extrusomes can rapidly eject short threadlike structures.

 Suctoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
extrusomes called haptocysts at the tip which attach to prey.

 The Planktonic Ciliate Project - Glossary
Extrusomes may be used for protection or prey capture.
The nature and function of the granules (kinetosomes, extrusomes) is unknown.
In some genera of the cyclotrichs (Askenasia, Rhabdoaskenasia) the oral area is encircled by this structure.

 [No title]
One anterior and one equatorial girdle of extrusomes.
Several other shapes, probably partially extruded or developing extrusomes with a distended anterior end, have been observed.
rehwaldi by the more clearly separated anterior and ventral membranelles, the more posteriorly located extrusome girdle, the exit canal of the neoformation organelle and the embryonic body both of which could not be observed in S.

 PID - Raphidiophrys Appearance
They are longer and much more slender than the scales and may bear prominent beads ("kinetocysts", a structurally distinct type of extrusome).
Axopodia are used to capture prey and to move cells along a substrate.
Axopodia, unlile the scales, radiate from the cell body at right angles to the cell surface.

 Pseudourostyla cristata
New Observations on the Extrusomes of Pseudourostyla cristata (Ciliophora, Hypotrichia)
They consist of a bell-shaped electron-dense head and a compact, rod-shaped shaft embedded in fluffy, hyaline material; thus, the extrusomes look like little umbrellas in the light microscope, where only the shaft and the cup can be recognized.
Previous investigations showed that the extrusomes of P.

 Peniculid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typically the body has uniform, dense cilia, which also cover a vestibule preceding the mouth.
Extrusomes are characteristically in the form of spindle trichocysts, which release thread-like shafts, and never mucocysts.
The oral cilia include peniculi, corresponding to the membranelles of related groups, arranged parallel to the mouth deep in the oral cavity.

 Litonotus
In both species the toxicysts are localized perpendicularly to all the left side of the cell and especially in the proboscis, that is the first part to contact the prey.
This fine structure was compared with the extrusomes of other predator species.
The mucocysts form a continuous layer underneath the cortex while the compact vesicles are spaced in the inner cytoplasm; possibly they both are used after the paralysis of the prey for sticking and drag it to the mouth opening.

 IB 118(4)
As extrusomes, sagittocysts are comparable to nematocysts, colloblasts, rhabdites, and other extrusomes common especially to lower eumetazoans, and the origin of all such extrusomes may correlate with the origin of the eumetazoan gut.
Sagittocysts are extrusomes found only in acoel turbellarians.
They are needlelike secretory products, on the order of 18-50 µm long and 1-5 µm wide, and consist of a fibrous cortex, a central filament, and an intermediate lucent layer.

 Protozoans
Some use any part of the cell body to invaginate food, but those that have fixed cell shape usually have a cytostome (mouth like area) Some use weapons (special types of organelles) to subdue prey, the extrusomes (trichocysts, toxicysts).
Or they take in solid foods by phagocytosis,( enzymes, PH with in food vacuole).

 Nat'l Academies Press, Nature and Human Society: (1997), page 142, in chapter 2 Less Well-Known Individual Forms of Life
The group consists of obligate intracellular parasites found in other protists, insects, fishes, and, opportunistically, human AIDS patients.
Microspora (synonym Microsporidia): A highly unusual group, with very small spores (diameters less than 1
m) containing a complex extrusome and with a chitinous cell wall.

The extruded organelle appeared to be encased in a thin, dense tube-like sheath which encloses a periodically striated matrix.
[Somatic Cortex: extrusomes] The extrusomes are distributed between kinetids of the kinety as in Lechriopyla.
A parasomal sac is located just anterior to the kinetosome.
