SummaryUltrastructural changes in the macronucleus during the complete cycle of asexual reproduction of Acineta tuberosa (Suctoria) are described. Using time-lapse photography Heckmann (1966) demonstrated that in Tokophrya lemnarum just prior to macronuclear division thread-like chromatin strands rotate around several centres. Corresponding stages have now been identified in electron micrographs of Acineta.Of considerable interest is the distribution of microtubules during cell cycle. Numerous…

Discophrya collini reproduces asexually through the formation of a ciliated swarmer by evaginative budding and it is suggested that this evagination is induced by a rapid breakdown of supporting microtubules in the cavity wall and the subsequent hydrostatic pressure exerted by the body cytoplasm.

It is suggested that the pre-divisional intranuclear rotational movement is a mechanism to avoid aneuploidy by producing a random arrangement of replicated hereditary units prior to division.

Ultrastructural changes in the micro- and macronucleus throughout division were followed in synchronized cultures of the suctorian, Tokophrya infusionum to find out why colchicine seems to block division at a very early stage.
