Abstract: | Summary Transformation of the Golgi apparatus inMicrasterias americana at various stages after full growth and at the earliest stage of cell growth was investigated using an electron microscope. Silver-hexamine staining and the acid phosphatase (ACPase) test were also carried out. In cells cultured for two days after full growth, dictyosomes began to produce hypertrophied vesicles (HVs) along their five peripheral reagions. The HVs contained fibrous material, which was stained by silver-hexamine, and small granules which reacted with ACPase. The HVs were pinched off the dictyosomes and fused with each other and with the vacuoles. In the earliest stage of cell growth, the cisternae of the dictyosomes were stretched in one direction, which modified the shape from circular to elliptical and the dictyosomes curved along the long axis of the ellipse. These curved dictyosomes which produced middle sized vesicles (MVs) from the distal networks, divided into two identical parts along the short axis of the ellipse. |
