If L is any semilattice, let TL denote the Munn semigroup of L, and Aut (L) the automorphism group of L.

We show that every semilattice L can be isomorphically embedded as a convex subsemilattice in a semilattice L' which has a transitive automorphism group in such a way that (i) every partial isomorphism α of L can be extended to an automorphism of L', (ii) every partial isomorphism: α: eL → fL of L can be extended to a partial isomorphism αL′: eL′ → fL′ of L′ such that TL → TL′, α → αL′ embeds TL' isomorphically in TL′, (iii) every automorphism γ of L can be extended to an automorphism γL′ of L′ such that Aut (L) → Aut (L′), γ → γL embeds Aut (L) isomorphically in Aut (L′).
