Abstract
A new member of the Chrysophyceae, Rhizochromulina marina gen. et sp.nov. is described by means of both light and electron microscopy of cultured material. Vegetative cells are non-flagellate and amoeboid with many fine beaded filipodia and a single golden-brown chloroplast. Zoospores are fusiform in shape and genuinely uniflagellate with no emergent vestigial second flagellum. They appear to possess the most reduced and phylogenetically advanced type of motile cell organization yet found in the Chrysophyceae.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
