Cell wall carbohydrate epitopes in the green alga Oedogonium bharuchae f. minor (Oedogoniales, Chlorophyta)

Cell wall changes in vegetative and suffultory cells (SCs) and in oogonial structures from Oedogonium bharuchae N. D. Kamat f. minor Vélez were characterized using monoclonal antibodies against several carbohydrate epitopes. Vegetative cells and SCs develop only a primary cell wall (PCW), whereas ma...
