ARCHITECTURE OF CELL WALL OF EUASTRUM RALFS: NEW GENUS CRITERION
Abstract
Cell wall ornamentation of 66 species of the genus Euastrum Ralfs was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Particular for desmids depressions of cell wall (scrobicules) were described. Scrobicules were divided in four groups on the basis of morphology, size and distribution: large with two layers and some pores, grouped around a pore, small without pore and round with a pore. It was shown that first three types of scrobicules were specific only for Euastrum and were proposed as addition criterion for this genus.
