Pore complex and putative interconnecting strands in ctenostomes. a Pore complex of the walkerioidean Mimosella sp., erect form. The inner part of the pore complex shows distinct f-actin concentration. Note the lack of strands or tissues in association with the pore complex. Optical section. b Pore complex in the arachnidioidean Nolella dilatata showing cord-like structures from the pore towards the polypide. Maximum intensity projection (c) Tissue cord in the basal stalk of the walkerioidean Triticella flava. Note the lack of nuclei adjacent to the cystid wall. Maximum intensity projection. Abbreviations: cae – caecum, cc – connective cord, ch – tissue cord, int – intestine, ms – main stolon, pc – pore complex, sm – stolonal transverse  muscle, ss – side stolon, st – stalk
