Fig. 4. The kinetoplast changes position during the trypanosome life cycle. (A) The relative position of the kinetoplast in trypomastigote bloodstream and procyclic forms and in epimastigote forms with respect to the nucleus and posterior end of the trypanosome. (B) A phase contrast image of cells undergoing differentiation between bloodstream stumpy forms and procyclic forms. The cells have been counter-stained with DAPI to reveal the position of the nucleus (N) and kinetoplast (K). In the three cells shown, the kinetoplast is progressively repositioned, being earliest in this process in the top cell and latest in the bottom cell. Panel B is reproduced from Matthews et al. (Matthews et al., 1995). Bar, 20 µm.
