THE FINE STRUCTURE OF MITOSIS AND CELL DIVISION IN THE CHRYSOPHYCEAN ALGA OCHROMONAS DANICA 1

At the ultrastructural level, cell division in Ochromonas danica exhibits several unusual features. During interphase, the basal bodies of the 2 flagella replicate and the chloroplast divides by constriction between its 2 lobes. The rhizoplast, which is a fibrous striated root attached to the basal body of the long flagellum, extends under the Golgi body to the surface of the nucleus in interphase cells. During proprophase, the Golgi body replicates, apparently by division, and a daughter rhizoplast, appears. During prophase, the 2 pairs of flagellar basal bodies, each with their accompanying rhizoplast and Golgi body, begin to separate. Three or 4 flagella are already present at this stage. At the same time, there is a proliferation of microtubules outside the nuclear envelope. Gaps then appear in the nuclear envelope, admitting the microtubules into the nucleus, where they form a spindle. A unique feature of mitosis in O. danica is that the 2 rhizoplasts form the poles of the spindle, spindle microtubules inserting directly onto the rhizoplasts. Some of the spindle microtubules extend from pole to pole; others appear to attach to the chromosomes. Kinetochores, however, are not present. The nuclear envelope breaks down, except, in the regions adjacent, to the chloroplasts; chloroplast ER remains intact throughout mitosis. At late anaphase the chromosomes come to lie against part of the chloroplast ER. This segment of the chloroplast ER appears to be incorporated as part of the reforming nuclear envelope, thus reestablishing the characteristic nuclear envelope—chloroplast ER association of the interphase cell.
