Plasmalemmasomes and lomasomes in Candida albicans.
Candida albicans possesses plasmalemmasomes and lomasomes whose origin, structure and distribution are described. It is suggested that plasmalemmasomes become lomasomes during cell wall synthesis. The endoplasmic reticulum and lomasomes may be regarded as the functional equivalent to the Golgi apparatus in C. albicans and this view is discussed.
