In a culture age study very late stationary phase cells (17 days
post-inoculation) seemed to have a proliferation of small peroxisomes
(per). Although not treated to show their tubules, the tubules
stood out as darkly stained against a medium-dense homogenous
background. One peroxisome is docked at a lipid body (lip).
This cell might have already proceeded into death phase as the
cytoplasm appears unusually empty of matrix material. m,
mitochondrion. EM taken on 5/29/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM.
