Abstract:
:Vegetative cells and cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii 12837 were prepared for electron microscopy by several methods assumed to preserve structural details destroyed by techniques previously reported in the literature. Examination of large numbers of cells and cysts by these methods revealed four structural details not reported previously: intine fibrils, intine vesicles, intine membrane, and microtubules. The intine fibrils form a network in the gel-like homogeneous matrix of the CC2 layer. Intine vesicles which seem to originate in the cell wall complex of the central body are seen in the intine and exine of cysts. Analogous structures are found on vegetative cells. The intine is divided into two chemically distinct areas by the two-layered intine membrane. Microtubules, previously reported only in vegetative cells, were found in cysts.
