Summary

SLOW FREEZING PRODUCED LAMELLAR TO HEXAGONAL II PHASE TRANSITIONS IN TONOPLASTS OF TERTIARY HYPHAE, WHICH COMPRISE THE FRUITING BODIES OF SEVERAL SPECIES OF BASIDIOMYCETES. THE FREEZING TEMPERATURES AT WHICH LAMELLAR TO HEXAGONAL II PHASE TRANSITIONS WERE FORMED RANGED FROM 270 TO 243 K (-3 TO -30 DEG C) IN THE DIFFERENT SPECIES. WITHIN THE SAME SPECIES, THE TEMPERATURES CORRESPONDED CLOSELY TO THOSE AT WHICH SEVERE CELLULARDEFORMATION CAUSING INTRAMEMBRANE PARTICLE AGGREGATION IN THE PLASMA MEMBRANES TOOK PLACE.
