[Ultrathin structure of normally growing and regenerating cells of Acetabularia mediterranea].
The ultrastructure of nucleus and cytoplasm in regenerating cells of Acetabularia mediterranea differs from that in normally growing ones: the nucleus of regenerating cells form numerous outgrowths; the cortical layer of nucleolus disintegrates markedly; the emission of nucleolar material in the nucleoplasm is observed. In the cytoplasm the portion of active chloroplasts increases and a great number of tubular fibrils appears. In the cytoplasm of regenerating cells the Golgi dictyosomes occur more frequently and the vesicles at their ends are larger than in that of normally growing cells. The changes of macromolecular organization of the nucleus and cytoplasm in question observed at the earlier stages of regeneration (2--12 hrs) suggest the increase of metabolic activity of cells.
