Description
This micrograph shows that the discoidal vesicles meet the cytopharyngeal membrane edge-on where they fuse. Besides the ribbon of 12 microtubules abutting the membrane there is a second small ribbon of 2 or 3 microtubules lying against the cytopharyngeal membrane on the posterior side of each ribbon. This narrow ribbon does not curve away from the membrane but remains close to the membrane and its termination marks the boundary line between the cytopharynx and the nascent vacuole membrane.
