A Comparative Ultrastructural Investigation of Some Nannochloris Species (Chlorococcales) with Particular Reference to the Systematic Position of Nan…
1989
Nanochlorum eucaryotum was described by Wilhelm et al. (1982) as a new algal species with an uncertain taxonomic position. Whereas some features were chlorococcacean, others suggested an isolated position in the sense of a “pre-eucaryote” (Wilhelm, 1983; Zahn, 1984; Geisert et al., 1987). Our comparative ultrastructural, physiological and biochemical examinations of coccoid microalgae (Menzel, 1988) gave no arguments for the separation of Nanochlorum eucaryotum from the genus Nannochloris. This paper is concerned with the ultrastructural composition of the cell wall and mode of reproduction in Nanochlorum eucaryotum as well as in three Nannochloris species. The systematic position of Nanoch…
Heinrichs Skuja's contribution to phycological research in Latvia
1992
A review of H. Skuja's phycological research carried out in Latvia during the period 1924–1944. It is due to his research that the number of algal species identified in Latvia increased from 200 to 2300. 50 species and varieties, and 9 genera were described by him as new.
