"The most remarkable feature of the granular rhizopodia of foraminifera is the typical bidirectional cytoplasmic flow ... Granules are transported in both directions simultaneously even in extremely fine rhizopodial strands" (from [[BIBLIOGRAPHY|Lipps,1993]]) | "The most remarkable feature of the granular rhizopodia of foraminifera is the typical bidirectional cytoplasmic flow ...
