Summary

The ultrastructure of the preinfectional phase of zoospores of Olpidium brassicae attached to host cells is described. Prior to encystment the flagellum is retracted in the zoospore, where it forms two windings. At the beginning of flagellum desintegration the dictyosome is going to separate the rhizoplast from the kinetosome and the centriole. After desintegration of the rhizoplast the axonema is separated from the kinetosome and desintegrates too. The resulting two centrioles are finally located between the nucleus and the dictyosome. Vesicles produced by the dictyosome are aggregating at the region of attachment of the cyste; there often are found lomasome-like structures. The vacuole is formed in the distal region of the cyst from an multivesicular structure originating from cisternae of the ER.

Zusammenfassung

Anhand der Ultrastrukturen wird die präinfektionelle Phase an die Wirtszelle angehefteter Olpidium-Zoosporen beschrieben. Vor der Encystierung wird die Geißel eingezogen; sie liegt dann in zwei Windungen in der Zoospore. Beim Abbau des Geißelapparates schiebt sich als erstes das Dictyosom der Zelle zwischen den Rhizoplasten und das Kinetosom sowie das Centriol. Nach Auflösung des Rhizoplasten trennt sich das Axonema vom Kinetosom und desintegriert. Die Centriolen lagern sich schließlich zwischen Kern und Dictyosom. Vom Dictyosom produzierte Sekretvesikeln sammeln sich an der Anheftungsstelle in der Cyste; dort organisieren sich oft auch Lomasomen-ähnliche Strukturen. Im distalen Teil der Zelle entsteht aus Elementen des ER über ein multivesiculäres Stadium die Vacuole.
