Among the most important changes in the fine structure of lipotubuloids, observed in the course of their development cycle, belong: 1) the appearance in ageing lipotubuloids of autolytic vacuoles, in which hydrolytic enzymes are present; 2) the disappearance of the microtubules forming a network and interconnecting the osmiophilic granules, which precedes the dispersion of these granules agglomerated in lipotubuloids
