On the Ultrastructure of the Cell Wall and Pit Plugs of Chondrococcus hornemannii (Rhodophyta, Cryptonemiales)

Unusual cell wall ultrastructure inAntithamnion(Rhodophyta)

“…Recent ultrastructural studies of cell walls of taxonomically diverse red algae (for example, see Bisalputra et al, 1967;Cottler, 1971 ;Duckett & Peel, 1978;Gerwick & Lang, 1977;Hanic & Cragie, 1969;Mshigeni, 1977) have disclosed a number of unique features. Previously described wall ultrastructures do not account for the layering described above, however.…”
