Abstract: | Summary The ultrastructure of the mature pyrenoid of the chaetophoracean algaLeptosiropsis torulosa is unlike any described for the green algae. The nucleus is surrounded by the pyrenoid, with only the endoplasmic reticulum interrupting the encircling pyrenoid. The pyrenoid possesses only the appressed plastid membranes that are in contact with the nucleus, with no traversing thylakoids present. |
