The botrysome is always associated with the ER and Golgi complex. Sections from a serial reconstruction of a single botrysome (arrowheads). In A, the botrysome is not closely associated with the Golgi complex (G); however, the micrograph in B of a subsequent section clearly demonstrates the close approximation of the botrysome and the Golgi apparatus. Scale bar, 200 nm. We have partially reconstructed four botrysomes, all of which were associated with both the ER (ER) and Golgi apparatus. Scale bar, 800 nm.
