| Cytosolic pressure may be one force used to expel the undigested contents from spent vacuoles, however, tubulation and retrieval of the spent vacuole membrane will ultimately eliminate all of the vacuole contents as well as the spent vacuole membrane and allow the cytoproct lips (arrows) to be pulled back together. The vesiculated vacuole membrane can then be recycled. EM taken on 4/21/78 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 12,250X. Bar = 0.5µm. |
