Abstract：
:Ultrastructural studies of the digestive system of Paramecium caudatum focusing on the first 5 min of digestive-vacuole age reveal a set of vesicles, named phagosome fusion vesicles (PFVs), which fuse with the digestive vacuole just after the vacuoles are released from the cytopharynx and concomitant with vacuole acidification. Serial thin-sections of vacuoles labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and/or latex beads in pulse-chase studies were observed. PFVs, irregularly shaped, electron-translucent vesicles ranging from a small diameter to over 1 micro, are first seen in the region of the cytopharynx where they bind to the nascent vacuole membrane. Within 30 sec of vacuole release the PFVs fuse with the vacuole where they remain for a brief time connected to the vacuole by a narrow annulus. HRP-reaction product is found in vacuoles but not in PFVs before PFVs fuse with the vacuoles. After fusion with PFVs HRP is quickly inactivated. Tubular extensions of vacuole membrane then form between the fused PFVs. By 3 to 5 min both PFVs and tubules disappear from the vacuole surface and lysosomes appear in their place. We believe the tubules are pinched off as PFV membrane is being added to the vacuole. Microfilaments coat the membrane during all these dynamic events. Since the pH of the vacuole becomes acid during the first few minutes, we are now looking for a direct correlation between PFV fusion and acidification.
