Acidosomes originate from the biosynthetic pathway that includes the
ER, the Golgi stack and the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Flattened
vesicles from the TGN round up into spherical vesicles and bind to
microtubules (not shown here) that come from the cytopharynx. While
moving along these microtubules they come into contact with the
carrier vesicles that also bind to the same microtubules. EM taken on
7/19/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A TEM. Neg. 24,800X. Bar = 0.2µm.
