The carrier vesicles dock with the acidosomes and then fuse with these larger vesicles before or as the vesicles dock at the nascent Digestive Vacuole. Thus the contents of the carrier vesicles are fi...

Phagoacidosomes are heavily labeled for L1 antigen in 5-8 to 15-18 minute-old DVs. However, only some DVs at 15-18 min still had L1 label. Only occasionally did we see tubules with label arising from ...

The 11 micrographs of the group are views of a serially-sectioned contracted Vorticella convallaria cell that show the main features of this cell. This figure shows 1 food vacuole; micronucleus; contr...

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 li...

Following digestion, that only occurs in the phagolysosome (DV-III), the membrane of these DVs undergoes extensive tubulation. These tubules are ~45nm in diameter and arise from the cytosolic surface ...

The tubules arising from late DV-III expand at their distal ends into rounded shapes. These expanded ends contain a glycocalyx like the secondary lysosomes and large IMPs also like secondary lysosomes...

Acid phosphatase is present in tubules retrieved from late DV-III. The tubules and rounded expansions arising as a result of late DV-III membrane retrieval contain an electron-opaque reaction product ...

This group represents a serial series of sections. At the level of this section the macronucleus, cytopharyngeal tube, food vacuoles, and perioral membranelle are evident. TEM taken on 3/12/71 by R. A...
