    Notes: Summary The microtubules ofPhysarum amoebae have been decorated with rat antibodies against yeast tubulin. The indirect fluorescent staining observed in interphase amoebae and in flagellated amoebae is consistent with the three-dimensional reconstructions previously deduced from electron microscopic studies. Mitotic amoebae exhibit a pattern of fluorescence which is similar to that exhibited by mammalian cells and is consistent with the previous electron microscopic studies, except that we also observe pole-pole microtubule fibers during metaphase and anaphase and the presence of a typical midbody during cytokinesis. The various types of tripolar mitosis which are observed suggest that there is a regulatory mechanism allowing the formation of pseudo-bipolar mitotic apparatuses in amoebae possessing more than two mitotic centers during mitosis. The mitotic center, located in the middle of the centrosphere, is not fluorescent after staining of the monoasters induced with taxol suggesting the absence of tubulin in the mitotic center.

    Notes: Summary Although the plasmodial stage of the MyxomycetePhysarum polycephalum was unaffected with 200 μM taxol, the amoebal stage was sensitive to 10 μM taxol. The first effect of taxol resulted in an accumulation of cells blocked as a monopolar centrosphere surrounded by condensed chromosomes. In 79% of cases these monoasters contained two pairs of centrioles. The mitotic block in a monopolar stage in the presence of taxol delayed the occurrence of late mitotic events such as chromosome decondensation and formation of the nuclear envelope. Escape from the monopolar centrosphere stage and formation of multinucleated amoebae involved a transient monopolar reconstruction stage in which a long microtubular bundle interacted with a small chromosomal mass outside the monoaster.

    Notes: Summary Monoasters induced by taxol in the amoebae of the MyxomycetePhysarum polycephalum show an unusual tridimensional location of the centrioles. Tridimensional reconstructions of individual monoasters with either two or four centrioles show that the position of centrioles is not random. The characteristics of these monoasters suggest that the centrioles are not linked to the mitotic center in the monoaster since mitotic centers completely devoid of centrioles in adjacent or central location are observed. However, the preferential centrifugal orientation of the centrioles in the centrosphere induced by taxol suggests that centrioles are initially located in the mitotic center in agreement with the attachment of the centrioles to the mitotic center during interphase.
