Abstract
The submicroscopic structure of the spores and growing hyphae ofRhizopus nigricans is described. The cell wall is 800–1,200 Å thick and has a lamellar structure. The nucleus is invested with a nuclear membrane with pores 500 and 800 Å in diameter. The nucleolus has no membrane; the character of the internal structure of the nucleus depends on the fixation technique. The mitochondria are of the classic type, with “cristae mitochondriales”. The endoplasmic reticulum consists of membranes lying separately in the ground cytoplasm. Structures which might correspond to the equivalent of the Golgi apparatus were found near the nucleus.
Abstract
Описывается субмикроскопическая структура спор и растущих гифов плесени Rhizopus nigricans (Mucoraceae). Клеточная оболочка, 800–1200 Å в толщину, обладает пластинчатой структурой. Ядро окружено ядерной оболочкой с порами в 500–800 Å в диаметре. Ядрышко оболочки не имеет. Характер внутренней структуры ядра зависит от фиксации. Митохондрии классического типа с «cristae mitochondriales». Эндоплазматическая сеть образован мембранами расположенными, изолированно в основной цитоплазме. Вблизи ядра были найдены структуры, которые могли бы отвечать эквиваленту аппарата Гольджи.
