Displacement of lipid globules in Phycomyces

Lipid globules in sporangiophores of Phycomyces
In the sporangiophor of Phycomyces a complex of lipid globules (CLG) is situated. It plays a potential role as a vestibular receptor. The lipid globules are lighter than their surrounding medium and are kept in position by actin filaments.
