The entire membrane of the phagolysosome does appear to have been
changed into that similar to the lysosome membrane which bears a thick
glycocalyx (polysaccharide coat) and no longer appears to be like the
phagoacidosome which does not have a thick glycocalyx. As no patches
of acidosome-like membrane remain it can be assumed that the
acidosome-like membrane has been removed. Fibrous material
(arrows) lines the cytosolic side of the early DV-III similar
to that found at docking sites between the lysosomes and the DV-II
(see Fig. 40). EM taken on 3/28/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM.
