Fig. 27: bulbous blebs form at acidosome fusion sites

Grazing sections through the sites of fusion of acidosomes with the DV-I indicate that several bulbous blebs can form around the rim of a fused acidosome. In this micrograph a circle of 7 blebs (arrow) is found around one fusion site (out of section plane). Other sites have different numbers of blebs. EM taken on 4/3/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 12,250X. Bar = 0.5µm. Part published in Eur. J. Cell Biol. 29:150-158, 1983.
