FIGURE 1 in Morphological and molecular studies of Neosynechococcus sphagnicola, gen. et sp. nov. (Cyanobacteria, Synechococcales)

FIGURE 1. Morphological variability of Neosynechococcus sphagnicola. A–B. Population living inside Sphagnum sp. hyalocytes, + pseudofilament formation, arrow shows formation of the cell wall invagination. C–D. TEM (cross-sections), * parietal arrangement of thylakoids, ** granule of polyhydroxybutyrate, *** invaginations of cell wall, X polyphosphate body, XX cyanophycin granule, arrow shows cyanophycean starch. E–F. Microphotograph of N. sphagnicola strain. F. Extremely elongated cells. G. Line drawings showing cell differentiation and pseudofilament formation of N. sphagnicola. Scale bars: 5 µm (A, B, E–G), 2 µm (C), 1 µm (D).
