En ciliados inferiores en la mitosis del micronúcleo el aparato mitótico es intranuclear con simetría axial (ortomitosis intranuclear cerrada).

1996, Juan Ramón Lacadena, Citogenética, page 186:

In lower ciliates in mitosis of the micronucleus, the mitotic apparatus is intranuclear with axial symmetry (closed intranuclear orthomitosis).
