Notes
The fine structure of the rudimentary gut of male Asplanchna sieboldi in late stage embryos and at 0, 12 and 24 hours after birth is described. The results of histochemical tests for acid phosphatase and glycogen indicate that glycogen, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclei are subjected to autolysosomal breakdown, while glycogen remains as the major component of the gut in old males.
