Description
Cells coccoid, amoeboid or flagellate. Chloroplasts green, 2-
8 or more. The coccoid cells (9-16 µm in diameter) dominant
in culture, often with filopodia; filopodia highly reticulate. The
amoeboid cells (8-11 µm in diameter), solitary, naked, very
variable in form; circular to polygonal or lanceolate to very narrowly
elliptic, with filopodia. Flagellate cells (zoospores) rarely
observed. Sometimes suspended globular cells (11-25 µm in
diameter) observed. Colony (cell cluster) extending filopodia
radially. Filopodia concentrated, forming nodes (25-140 µm in
diameter). Pyrenoid divided into two halves longitudinally by
a thin layer of periplastidial compartment. A nucleomorph is
located at the pyrenoid base.
