Description

FIGURE 3. Stages of reproduction of Nisada stipitata in lateral view. A. (lv) Two pseudofilaments of morph 1 with and without cell division; perpendicular plane of division evident in left pseudofilament. B. Two-celled pseudofilament of morph 1 with beginning of perpendicular cell division of the daughter cell (top arrow); displaced basal/mother cell allowing partial view of the inside of the cup (bottom arrow). C. (lv) Two pseudofilaments of morph 1. Three-celled pseudofilament with fracture (arrow). D. (lv) Complete pseudofilament of morph 2 with division of daughter cell. E, F. Diversity of stages of the life cycle of morph 1. Pseudofilaments with all or some of the differentiated mucilaginous structures. Basal cell with incipient cup (arrow). G. (lv) Empty cups/stipes set in the colonial mucilage (arrows). H. (lv) Basal cells with different degrees of development, set in colonial mucilage. Scale bars: A–E = 3 μm, F–H = 6 μm.
