Popis:	The structure of the flagellar apparatus in the excavate flagellate Parabodo nitrophilus Skuja has been studied. Two smooth heterodynamic flagella emerge from the bottom of the flagellar apparatus. The kinetosomes connected by their proximal ends lie under an acute angle to each other and bear against the plate on the anteior wall of kinetoplast. The dorsal and ventral rootlets emerge from the kinetosomes and are transformed into dorsal and ventral bands. The latter accompanies the posterior flagellum. The MTR band begins inside the wall of the flagellar pocket. The upper part of the cytopharynx is armored by MTR and FAS bands, cross-banded fibril and structure, and additional microtubules. The MTR band and three additional microtubules surround the bottom part of cytopharynx. The mitochondrium contains compact kinetoplast and discoid cristae. The resemblance of Parabodo nitrophilus with other free-living kinetoplastids is discussed.
