Ultrastructure of Volvox carteri

Ultrastructure of Volvox carteri 203 74 74 1 1 G. Kochert L. W. Olson Department of Botany University of Georgia 30601 Athens Georgia USA Institute of Genetics University of Copenhagen Øster Farimagsgade 2 A Copenhagen K Denmark Summary Somatic cells of mature asexual colonies of Volvox carteri do not possess a true cell wall, but are otherwise similar in ultrastructure to Chlamydomonas . Somatic cells are embedded in multilayered fibrillar material of the colonial matrix. The reproductive cells (gonidia) of Volvox carteri lie internal to the somatic cell layer of the colony matrix in an apparently structureless portion of the colony matrix. Mature gonidia are large vacuolate cells with a central nucleus and parietal chloroplasts and mitochondria. They are non-flagellated at maturity, but each contains a pair of kinetosomes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Microbiology Springer Journals
