How is the pyrenoid inherited during cell division? During vegetative growth of Chlamydomonas, pyrenoids typically divide by fission; the pyrenoid appears to be bisected by the contracting cleavage furrow of the dividing chloroplast. However, a few minutes before this event, a substantial portion of the pyrenoid matrix dissolves into the surrounding chloroplast, and this material condenses back into the pyrenoid after chloroplast division is completed. In rare cases where pyrenoid fission fails and one of the daughter chloroplasts does not inherit a pyrenoid, it still inherits dissolved pyrenoid building blocks, which appear to condense de novo into a pyrenoid after chloroplast division is complete. This dissolution and condensation may therefore serve as a backup mechanism to ensure inheritance of a pyrenoid even when fission fails.
