Energy-dispersive X-ray Microanalysis of Membrane-associated Inclusions in Hydrogenosomes Isolated from Trichomonas vaginalis
1985
Energy-dispersive X-ray microprobe analysis of electron-dense inclusions in hydrogenosomes isolated from the aerotolerant anaerobic protozoal human parasite Trichomonas uaginalis, Bushby strain, indicated the presence of high levels of Mg, P and Ca. This suggested that divalent cation (e.g. Ca2+ or Mg2+) accumulation by hydrogenosomes may be important in the regulation of intracellular ion concentrations.
