The mitosomes are segmented and share the asymmetric shape with one flattened side. A Mitosomes show internal compartmentalization. The examples of different size and architecture of the organelles are shown. B Statistics of the mitosomal dimensions show conserved organelle shape (n = 30 and n = 70 organelles in the interphase and mitotic cells, respectively). C Almost all mitosomes have flattened shape and segmented interior (n = 48 and n = 106 organelles in the interphase and mitotic cells, respectively). D The estimated mitosomal volume (n = 17 organelles)
