Motile Tubular Vacuole Systems

  • Chapter
Biology of the Fungal Cell

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 8))

Abstract

The tips of actively growing fungal hyphae contain an extensive reticulum of motile and interconnected tubules and spherical vacuoles (Shepherd et al. 1993a,b; Ashford 1998; Cole et al 1998). The system as a whole shows a range of morphologies, and the tubules exhibit several types of motility including tip extension and retraction, peristalsis-like motion and movement of varicosities. Tubular vacuoles are found in representatives of all major fungal groups (Rees et al. 1994). They were previously unrecognised because the tubules do not survive chemical fixation and round up irreversibly into strings of vesicles (Orlovich and Ashford 1993). Tubular vacuoles are preserved by freeze-substitution and elongate vacuolar profiles are described in virtually all fungal species that have been freeze-substituted (see Ashford 1998).
