Abstract

The results of SEM study of cell organization and some feature of the structure of pyrenoids in several authentic strains of the genus Stichococcus Nägeli from ACKU collection are reported. Our results showed a variety of organizations of the pyrenoid in this group of green microalgae and allowed to describe five main types of pyrenoids.
