Secretory vesicles involved in cell wall synthesis (wall vesicles) and the Golgi apparatus have been compared in conventionally fixed and freeze substituted hyphae of the oomycete fungus Saprolegnia ferax. Wall vesicles freeze substituted in various fluids range from spherical to tubular and contain an intensely staining, phosphorus rich matrix. In contrast diverse conventional fixations cause artefactual constrictions in most tubular vesicles and loss of their intensely staining contents. These data are interpreted to show the existence of an intravesicular skeletal system, with cellular regulation, to determine vesicle morphology and intravesicular synthesis of a hypothetical phosphorylated glycolipid cell wall precursor. Whilst freeze substitution gives superior preservation of wall vesicle morphology, it does not demonstrate any preferential association between wall vesicles and microtubules thus suggesting that microtubules are only indirectly involved in wall vesicle transport. Freeze substitution is superior to conventional fixation for analysis of the Golgi apparatus because it uniquely reveals both differentiation of a specific single cisterna in each Golgi body and greater differences in membrane thickness throughout the endomembrane system.
