Abstract:
The evidence and arguments for and against the occurrence of endocytosis in fungal hyphae are summarized. The balance of evidence is in favour of the existence of endocytosis. This is supported by an analysis of the recently sequenced Neurospora genome which strongly suggests that this fungus possesses the complex protein machinery required to conduct endocytosis.
