Single filaments, dissociated from the extruded axoplasm of the squid giant axon and visualized by video-enhanced differential interference contrast microscopy, transport organelles bidirectionally. Organelles moving in the same or opposite directions along the same filament can pass each other without colliding, indicating that each transport filament has several tracks for organelle movement. In order to characterize transport filaments, organelle movements were 1st examined by video microsocpy, and then the same filaments were examined by EM after rapid-freezing, freeze-drying and rotary-shadowing. Transport filaments that supported bidirectional movement of organelles are 22 nm-27 nm in diameter and have a substructure indicative of a single microtubule. Immunofluorescence showed that virtually all transport filaments contain tubulin. Single microtubules can serve as a substratum for organelle movement, and suggest that an interaction between organelles and microtubules is the basis of fast axonal transport.
