Über die Chondriosomen-Struktur sowie das Vorkommen plasmatischer Lamellensysteme bei Coprinus disseminatus (Basidiomycet)

Abstract

The structure of the chondriosomes in the basidiomycete named, agree fundamentally with those found in many animals and plants: the chondriosome is surrounded by a double membrane, from the inner membrane the characteristic tubuli extend into the inner space. Coprinus disseminatus shows a peculiarity in two respects: (1) The tubuli are conspicuous and straight and often arranged lengthwise in the elongated oval chondriosome. (2) One often finds tubuli that are not separated from the plasma of the cell by the outer chondriosome membrane, but because of the absence of the outer membrane, are connected with the cell plasma at this point, a situation that Niklowitz observed for the first time in the myxomycete Badhamia utricularis. In the opinion of the author an intensive study of both organisms in this respect is necessary. Finally, the occurrence of plasmatic lamellar systems in Coprinus disseminatus was established, and data on the chondriosome structure in Lycoperdon borista are presented.
