Description
Easily fragmenting unbranched filaments so that the cells are usually solitary or in two-celled filaments. On solid medium, longer
filaments with 5-10(-20) cells are formed. The cells are cylindrical, with dimensions
(2.5-)2.8-3.8(-4.2) × (4.0-)4.5-10.7(-11.8) µm. The cell wall is thin, without any
thickenings. The cells possess a single parietal chloroplast with a single starch-enveloped
pyrenoid. The envelope is composed of several isolated starch grains.
Asexual reproduction proceeds by means of vegetative cell division. Neither
production of zoospores nor sexual reproduction was observed.
