Fine Structure and Cytochemistry of the Hydrogenosome of Tritrichomonas foetus1
摘要：
Fine structural studies of the hydrogenosomes of Tritrichomonas foetus using an improved fixative reveal that they are enclosed by two closely apposed 6 nm membranes, which separate at some regions forming a large intramembranous vacuole where Ca ++ -binding sites are located. Fixation of the cells in a glutaraldehyde solution containing 5 mM CaCl 2 and postfixation in an osmium tetroxide-potassium ferrocyanide solution led to the appearance of a reaction product associated with certain regions of the membrane of the hydrogenosomes and in the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, in the recurrent flagellum, and in the plasma membrane. Treatment of ultrathin sections with EGTA removed the reaction product. These results, in association with others previously described, indicate the existence of several similarities between the hydrogenosomes and the mitochondria.
