Abstract
Microbodies, similar in morphology to those of higher plants and animals, have been observed in thirteen genera of dinoflagellates. As in other unicellular algae, they did not show any staining after incubation in DAB/H2O2 medium although the mitochondrial cristae and chloroplast lamellae did give a positive reaction. The microbodies of Scrippsiella sweeneyae were found to be associated with a membranous reticulate structure, which may be involved in their formation.Keywords
