| Abstract: | Massarina armatispora (Ascomycota, Dothideales, Lophiostomataceae) is described for the first time at the ultrastructural level. Two new structures were observed for this species. Firstly, the ascospores were shown to possess polar chambers formed from the episporium and which contained a fibrillar material and secondly, a lateral fibrillar appendage-like structure. The similarities between marine ascomycetesMassarina armatispora, Massarina thalassiae andParaliomyces lentiferus are discussed. |
