A detailed investigation into the ultrastructure of the pea aphid mycetocytes and their contained symbiotes and organelles was carried out with the transmission electron microscope. The most striking observation was the presence of small vesicles in the space between the primary symbiote cell wall and membrane envelope (outer membrane space). The vesicles appear to form by a budding process at the outer cell wall layer. Subsequently, the vesicles, we suggest, may move out into the mycetocyte cytoplasm via a similar budding of the membrane envelope; The Golgi apparatus was found to be an important structural component of the primary mycetocyte; it is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the latter, in turn, appears to be closely connected to the primary symbiote membrane envelope. This may be of functional significance. A number of other organelles not previously described in mycetocytes were found, including transparent vacuoles, granular bodies, multi-vesicular bodies and microfilaments. The chemical composition of the various vesicles and organelles is unknown at present.
