Article Description

Sporangial development in the zoosporic fungus Achlya intricata has been studied using light microscopy, a plasmolytic technique, KCl-filled microelectrodes and ion-selective microelectrodes. The completion of cleavage (spore delimitation) is accompanied by a change in appearance of the sporangium, loss of turgor and membrane potential, decrease in volume and release of K. The measured loss of K is in agreement with previous measurements of extracellular ionic currents around developing sporangia of Achlya using a vibrating probe. The relationship between these changes and the mechanism of spore liberation is discussed. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
