ciliate

Definition

The posterior kinety is posterior to the lateral ciliary field. The term was introduced by Choi et al. (1992) and is favoured, as the names “Ventro- Lateralkinete” (Foissner and Wilbert 1979, Foissner and O’Donoghue 1990, Petz and Foissner 1993) and “dorsolateral kinety” (Petz et al. 1995) do not emphasize its unique position in the posterior cell portion.
