Abstract
|
|
|
|
Eelctron microscopic cytochemical methods reveal that acid phosphatase activity appears exclusively in vacuoles surrounding established symbiotes. However, copius amounts of acid phosphatase reaction product are visible between and around some of the degenerating symbiotes in the amebae after treatment of chloramphenicol. It is thought that bacteriostasis by chloramphenicol has served to lost the symbiotic interference to intracellular digestion by the ameba and possibly phodphatase enxymes have been implicated in phagocytosis and intracellular digestion of the symbiotic bacteria.
