SYNOPSIS Kinetosome counts in different stages of the cell cycle of Condylostoma indicate that somatic kinetosome production occurs during cell division. The kineties apparently increase in length during interphase by spacing‐out of preexisting kinetosomes. This spacing‐out may be passive and caused by expansion of the cortical membrane to which the kinetosomes are attached.
