Photographs enlarged from portions of a motion photomicrograph, showing the method of cell wall penetration by Pythium hyphae. A. — Shows hypha growing toward the potato cell wall. B. — Shows hypha attached to wall and about to penetrate. C. — The tip has just broken through the wall. D. — The penetration is complete. Note the black line at the point where the hypha penetrates the wall. This may be due to a rolling up of the potato cell wall about the hypha or to a difference in refraction caused by compression of the wall.

Photographs enlarged from portions of a motion photomicrograph, showing the method of cell wall penetration by Pythium hyphae.
A. — Shows the hypha growing against the potato cell wall. Sufficient pressure has already been applied to cause the hypha to bend. Notice that this bending increases in later photographs.
B. — A little later stage than A.
C. — The tip has broken through as a small tube
D. — Penetration is complete. Notice the constriction of the hypha at the point where it penetrates the potato cell wall.
