Polyhedral bodies (carboxysomes) in two Oscillatoria isolates were of two morphological forms. Some were typical polygonal bodies with many straight sides and were approximately 0.2 micron in diameter. Most of the bodies in these isolates were elongate being up to 2.6 microns in length, 33 nm in width and approximately 0.1 micron in depth. Some of the bodies were polygonal with an elongate extension. All of the bodies were limited by a membrane monolayer of approximately 20 A. The function of polyhedral bodies (carboxysomes) is discussed in relation to their observed morphology.
两种颤藻分离株中的多面体(羧酶体)有两种形态。一些是典型的多角体,有许多直边,直径约0.2微米。这些分离株中的大多数多面体呈细长形,长度可达2.6微米,宽度为33纳米,深度约0.1微米。一些多面体呈多边形且有细长的延伸部分。所有多面体都由一层约20埃的单层膜所包裹。结合观察到的形态对多面体(羧酶体)的功能进行了讨论。
