The distribution of phytoplankton and its relation to the hydrographic features in the north-eastern Adriatic was investigated in February 2008. The area of interest included a thermohaline gradient in the channel situated between the coast and the islands lying parallel to the coast. The gradient is controlled by the influx of oligotrophic karstic riverine water at the south-eastern end, submarine springs in the middle part, and warmer offshore waters at the north-western end of the channel. The change of temperature and salinity in the estuarine transition zone was accompanied by abundant diatoms and dinoflagellates below the halocline, with dominant chain-forming diatoms (Chaetoceros, Bacteriastrum) in abundances reaching 5 ×105 cells dm-3. The impact of coastal submarine springs detected by infrared remote sensing resulted in the growth of cyanobacteria in the nitrogen-depleted surface waters. The greater contribution of picoplankton, as well as of nanoplanktonic coccolithophorids and cryptophytes, in the outer channel system indicated their preference for oligotrophic conditions. Flow cytometric counts of nanophytoplankton were 10-30 times greater than inverted microscope counts. Cyanobacteria were about five times more abundant than picoeukaryotes. The study demonstrates how different techniques (remote sensing and in situ investigations) can be useful in understanding the biological and hydrographic set-up in the specific oligotrophic eastern Adriatic coastal environment.
Wnętrze rzęski nie jest oddzielone od cytoplazmy błoną biologiczną, a mimo to ma unikatowy skład. Jest to możliwe dzięki działaniu zlokalizowanej u podstawy rzęski tzw. bariery rzęskowej. W skład tej struktury wchodzi dystalna część ciałka podstawowego, proksymalna część rzęski, umiejscowione na nich włókna przejściowe i łączniki Y, a także fragmenty przylegającej do nich błony komórkowej i rzęskowej. Tak złożona budowa umożliwia z jednej strony zatrzymanie u podstawy rzęski białek niepożądanych, a z drugiej, ułatwienie transportu do wnętrza rzęski elementów niezbędnych do jej budowy i funkcjonowania.

The intraciliary space is not separated from the cell cytoplasm by a membrane, but still it has a unique composition. It is possible due to the existence of so-called ciliary gate localized at the ciliary base. This structure is composed of the distal part of basal body, proximal portion of cilium, transition fibers and Y-links and adjacent part of the cell and ciliary membrane. This complex structure, on one hand retains the unwanted proteins at the ciliary base and, on the other hand, facilitates the intraciliary transport of cargos required for cilia formation and function.
