In vitro studies on Golgi complexes, helices and some fat body organelles evolving from pigment glial endosymbiotic prokaryotes of Dysdercus koenigii Fabricius

The symbiotic bacteria from pigment gila of Dysdercus koenigii Fabr. produce membrane and compartmentalize themselves to evolve into eukaryotic organelles of fat body of the insect. From 8 to 14-day old culture obtained from the single colony, almost simultaneous occurrence of basal lamina, single and double helices resembling RNA and DNA helices, and Golgi complexes was observed. At a later state (16–20-day old culture), granulated/bacteriated vacuoles storing crystalline proteins were obtained.
