The stalk of Protostelium irregularis (Eumycetozoea) has been studied with light and electron microscopy and selected‐area electron diffraction. The stalk is positively birefringent and fibrillar. Diffraction patterns obtained from stalks indicate that crystalline cellulose I is one component of the stalk.
