Abstract

SYNOPSIS. The kinetoplast nucleoid of Herpetomonas muscarum muscarum is a disk‐shaped mass of filaments with sharply delimited anterior and posterior margins. The kinetoplast nucleoid of Herpetomonas muscarum ingenoplastis is elongate, tapered, and made up of long, helically arranged filaments. Possible explanations of these structures on the basis of work by others on isolated kinetoplast DNA are given. The double flagellum of Herpetomonas is seen by electron microscope to be two complete flagella in close contact but with no visible connection to each other.
