Ultrastructural Aspects of a Mutant of Schizophyllum commune with Continuous Nuclear Migration

M Raudaskoski 1, Y Koltin 2
PMCID: PMC285472  PMID: 4355493

Abstract

Study of a mutant of the basidomycete Schizophyllum commune with continuous migration of nuclei revealed that the mutant is characterized by vacuolization, bundles of fibrillar-like material, and microtubules. The bundles of fibrillar-like material and microtubules extend through degraded septa to adjacent cells and are found in proximity to nuclei.
