Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoite.
False color transmission electron micrograph showing abnormal development during parasite proliferation in the RAB11B mutant. While nuclear division and the formation of the daughter apical organelles occurs, the inner membrane complex, which delineates individual daughters and is essential for daughter formation, fails to form, resulting in a disorganized structure incapable of division. This contrasts with the wild type, where inner membrane complex formation provides the template for the formation of the polarized daughters (see Agop-Nersesian et al., doi:10.1371/journal.ppat.1001029).
