SYNOPSIS. In various ciliates the contractile vacuole is a permanent organelle, delimited by a differentiated cortex. The cortex is made up of a dense reticulum of anastomosing tubules limited by a smooth membrane, and vesicles. This “spongiome” can be considered as a localized and specialized condensation of the endoplasmic reticulum.
