The ultrastructure of the flagellar apparatus of Chlamydomonas moewusii was examined in detail. Two rhizoplasts were found associated with the basal bodies of this biflagellate and were observed to extend to the central area of the cell. A segment of smooth endoplasmic reticulum ran parallel to each rhizoplast. These 2 segments anastomose beneath the basal bodies and the tubule proceeds over the top of the distal connecting fibre. A functional role for the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in these locations is discussed. Four sets of rootlet microtubules emanate from a region between the 2 basal bodies and the distal connecting fibre. Two sets have a three-over-one arrangement and the other 2 sets are doublets. Cytoplasmic microtubules were seen associated with possible nucleating sites on the rootlet microtubules. The association of the observed structures are discussed and compared to the flagellar apparatus of C. reinhardtii.
对莱茵衣藻鞭毛器的超微结构进行了详细研究。在这种双鞭毛藻的基体处发现了两根根丝体，并观察到它们延伸至细胞的中心区域。一段光滑内质网与每根根丝体平行排列。这两段在基体下方吻合，并且小管在远端连接纤维上方延伸。文中讨论了光滑内质网在这些位置的功能作用。四组小根微管从两个基体和远端连接纤维之间的区域发出。两组呈三上一下排列，另外两组是双联体。观察到细胞质微管与小根微管上可能的成核位点相关联。文中讨论了所观察到的结构之间的关联，并与莱茵衣藻的鞭毛器进行了比较。
