On the ultrastructure of the cell wall and pit plugs of Chondrococcus hornemannii (Rhodophyta, Cryptonemiales)

The Ultrastructure of the cell wall of Chondrococcus hornemannii is being reported for the first time. Amongst the notable features revealed in this study are: the stratified appearance of the wall, the presence of distinct lenticular pit plugs where the wall is interrupted by pit connections, and the presence of floridean starch grains scattered in the cytoplasm.
