Trichomonas tenax is a parasitic flagellate of the human mouth. The morphology and the ultrastructure of the protozoan are identical to those of other trichomonads. Giant forms suddenly appeared in a strain maintained in culture for two years. The structure and the ultrastructure of these abnormal forms were studied at the light and electron microscope level. Several nuclei, groups of flagella, undulating membranes and Golgi complexes were observed. The significance of these forms is still unknown.
口腔毛滴虫是人类口腔中的一种寄生鞭毛虫。该原生动物的形态和超微结构与其他毛滴虫相同。在一个培养了两年的菌株中突然出现了巨大形态。在光学显微镜和电子显微镜水平上研究了这些异常形态的结构和超微结构。观察到了多个细胞核、成组的鞭毛、波动膜和高尔基体复合物。这些形态的意义仍然未知。
