The process of phagocytosis was investigated by observing the interactions between the ameba Chaos chaos and its prey (Paramecium aurelia), by studying food cup formation in the living cell, and by studying the fine structure of the newly formed cup using electron microscopy of serial sections. The cytoplasm surrounding the food cup was found to contain structures not seen elsewhere in the ameba. The results are discussed in relation to the mechanisms which operate during food cup formation.
通过观察大变形虫(Chaos chaos)与其猎物(双小核草履虫,Paramecium aurelia)之间的相互作用、研究活细胞中食物杯的形成过程以及利用连续切片电子显微镜研究新形成的食物杯的精细结构,对吞噬作用过程进行了研究。发现食物杯周围的细胞质含有在变形虫其他部位未见的结构。结合食物杯形成过程中起作用的机制对结果进行了讨论。
