Re- cently, using cnida-mediated measurements of adhesive force in A. pallida. three different classes of chemorecep- tors were identified that sensitize cnidocytes to discharge their cnidae in response to triggering mechanical stimuli (Thorington and Hessinger, 1988a, b). Although the dis- charge of the microbasic p-mastigophores is under the t 3 E z o I o I. coated with 20, 30 and 40% gelatin (Fig. 6D). However, the spirocysts predominated by about 3-fold at 50% gela- tin (Fig. 6B, D).
