SYNOPSIS. At division of Deltotrichonympha operculata and Koruga bonita from the Australian termite, Mastotermes darwiniensis , the 2 centriolar bodies separate, each becoming a mitotic center. Spindle microtubules develop from the lower end of each centriolar body and radiate towards the elongating nucleus. A new rostrum is formed in association with each centriolar body. Thus, centriolar bodies which lack the structure of typical centrioles can nevertheless function as division centers during mitosis.
