A Nocardia sp.was found during an initial transmission electron microscopic (TEM) examination to have unusual intracellular bodies (ICB's) which do not appear to have been described previously in the literature. Most intracellular structures within bacteria have been classified as storage granules, a product of membrane invagination (i.e. mesosomes), or vacuoles. In bacteria there are no known intracellular membrane-bound organelles, and all internal membranes are invaginations of the unit membrane. Several microscopic-level examinations of the Nocardia sp. ICB's were initiated in order to determine their overall structure, classification, and internal constitution.Different TEM staining procedures were performed to determine possible molecular components of the ICB. In all of the staining protocols the ICB's showed a lack of electron density similar to the cell wall. Because the ICB's showed no affinity to any stain, it appeared they do not have strong positive charge (phosphotungstic acid), are not protein rich (en bloc uranyl acetate), lack glycogen and are not phosphate or sulphur rich (lead citrate), nor do they contain lipids or ribonucleic acids (osmium tetroxide).

Highly polyploid somatic nucleus (macronucleus) of ciliate Bursaria truncatella under goes severe changes in morphology during cell division. At first, macronucleus (Ma) condences, diminishes in size and turns perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the cell. After short time, Ma turns again, elongates and only afterwards the process of division itself occurs. The biological meaning of these phenomena is not clear.Localization of RNA in the cells was performed on sections of ciliates B. truncatella, embedded in “Lowicryl K4M” at various stages: (1) before cell division (Figs. 2,3); (11) at the stage of macronucleus condensation; (111) during elongation of Ma (Fig.4); (1111) in young cells (0-5min. after division). For cytochemical labelling we used RNaseAcolloidal gold complexes (RNase-Au), which are known to bind to RNA containing cell ularstructures with high specificity. The influence of different parameters on the reliability and reproducibility of labelling was studied. In addition to the factors, discussed elsewhere, we found that the balance of mono- and bivalent cations is of great significance.
