Abstract

Electron microscopic investigations show the scale subunits of the walls ofSorodiplophrys stercorea to be produced by the Golgi apparatus. Their chief monosaccharide subunit is identified tentatively as arabinose. Membrane flow involving the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Golgi vesicles, plasmalemma, and possibly prominent refractive bodies composed of membranes is suggested. Cytochemical data supporting ultrastructural evidence concerning the sites of scale and membrane biogenesis are presented.
