The cytoplasm of Nyctotherus macropharyngeus contains lipid bodies, mitochondria, and carbohydrate bodies. The lipid bodies consist of neutral lipids, most probably triglycerides, and protein. The mitochondria are rod-shaped. The carbohydrate bodies are formed by the coalescence of smaller spheres, which appear to arise in close association with the mitochondria. The external part of the smaller spheres is PAS-positive.
