Ultrastructure of Mitosis and Spindle Pole Bodies in the Zygomycetous Fungus Coemansia reversa Using Conventional Fixation and Freeze Substitution

The purpose of the Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life project (AFTOL) is to better understand the evolutionary history of the Kingdom Fungi using multiple data types, including molecular sequences and ultrastructural characters [1]. Microscopic features such as nuclear division and associated organelles, e.g., spindle pole bodies (SPB), are informative for revealing relationships between many taxonomic groups.
