Notizen: Summary Nuclei in protoplasts ofEntomophaga aulicae contain abundant condensed chromatin and a large central nucleolus. The metaphase spindle occupies a small eccentric area of the nucleus while the remainder of the nucleus is filled with condensed chromatin. Small portions of condensed chromatin are aligned along a broad metaphase plate and connected to the spindle poles by kinetochore microtubules. The nucleus associated organelle (NAO) is a solid barlike structure which lies at the spindle poles and is closely associated with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. Comparison of the nuclear characteristics ofE. aulicae with those of other members of theEntomophthorales supports the separation of theEntomophthoraceae from theBasidiobolaceae andAncylistaceae. Further comparison of details of nuclear division in theEntomophthoraceae, specifically NAO morphology, may be useful in helping to delineate evolutionary lines within the family.

Notizen: We have investigated the mechanisms that hyphae of the fungus Basidiobolus magnus use to accomplish bulk movement of their cytoplasm and saltatory organelle movements. When cells were irradiated with an ultraviolet microbeam, cytoplasmic contraction occurred. The posterior cytoplasm (toward the septum) always moved forward toward the irradiated area, whereas anterior cytoplasm (between the cell tip and target) never contracted back toward the site of irradiation. Thus, there is an intrinsic polarity in the cytoplasm. Irradiations also arrested saltatory movements. The effects of irradiation on both saltations and cytoplasmic movement appear to be mediated by Ca++. Chelating exogenous Ca++ before irradiation eliminated contractions and prevented the inhibition of saltations. Furthermore, the effects of irradiation could be duplicated by using the Ca++ ionophore A23187. We relate the present results to our previous report on the effects of irradiation on the cytoskeleton [McKerracher and Heath, 1986]. We conclude that two separate cytoskeletal networks exist in fungal cells, and that an actin-containing network generates bulk cytoplasmic movement.
