Fig. 6: Golgi stacks in tangential section

More typical dictyosomes of P. multimicronucleatum are the small highly vesiculated units shown here in tangential section. The COP-II coated transition vesicles often have an indentation (arrowhead). The cisternae are not coated so their membranes appear to be thinner than the vesicles. However, at their mature end the cisternae bear clathrin-coated vesicles (cov). This cell was from a two-day old culture after transferring the cells into fresh medium so the cells were actively multiplying. er, endoplasmic reticulum; ly, lysosome; arrows, fractured necks in cross section where vesicles are forming from ER transition zone. EM taken on 3/28/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 18,000X. Bar = 0.25µm.
