Mychonastes
''Mychonastes'' is a genus (biology), genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae. It is the sole genus of the family Mychonastaceae. Species of ''Mychonastes'' are found in plankton of freshwater or brackish waters, or found in soil. It is a very common genus, and is often dominant. Description ''Mychonastes'' consists of solitary cells of groups of a few cells (rarely more than four). Cells are spherical or slightly ovate, uninucleate (with one cell nucleus, nucleus) and a single parietal chloroplast without any pyrenoids. The cell wall is covered in an irregular network of ridges, only visible in (scanning electron microscopy). Cells are sometimes connected together by irregular, mucilaginous strands. These mucilaginous strands are formed from the mother cell wall after autospore release. ''Mychonastes'' reproduces asexual reproduction, asexually via autospores. Usually 2 or 4 (sometimes up to 64) are produced per cell. They are released through a tear in the cell ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
