Fig. 26: buildup of microfilaments around acidosome fusion sites

In more extreme cases microfilamentous material builds up into a thick layer surrounding the DV-I membrane as well as the fusion sites between the acidosomes (ac) and the DV-I (arrow). A similar thick meshwork was not observed between lysosomes (ly) and the DV-II. EM taken on 5/3/79 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 10,000X. Bar = 0.5µm.
