Identification and Characterization of Cell Wall Proteins of a Toxic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella Using 2-D DIGE and MALDI TOF-TOF Mass Spectrometry
Figure 1
Schematic diagram of the amphiesma of a typical thecate dinoflagellate based on Morrill and Loeblich (1984). (a) Structure of the amphiesma, including a continuous outermost membrane, an outer plate membrane, a single-membrane bounded thecal vesicle, and a cytoplasmic membrane. Inside this vesicle, a number of cellulosic thecal plates are subtended by a pellicular layer. (b) Scanning electron micrograph of A. catenella, with the continuous outermost membrane obvious on the cell surface.
