A-Detailed-Hierarchical-Study-of-Giardia-lamblia's-Ventral-Disc-Reveals-Novel-Microtubule-pone.0043783.s006

Description:

Tomographic reconstruction of 3 serial-montaged sections of a Giardia trophozoite. Each slice is 3 nm in the Z-plane. The transition zone between sections looks like a jump. Anterior flagella, AFL (purple); caudal flagella, CFL (cyan); posterior-lateral flagella, PFL (blue); ventral disc microtubules, MT (white); microribbons, MR (green); dense bands, DB; supernumerary microtubules, SMT (yellow). Margin-facing and axis-facing sides are shown for orientation. This volume is about ∼11 µm 3 of the entire disc, which has a volume of ∼54 µm 3 . Scale bar, 500 nm.
