Fine structure of biflagellate zoospores of Asterococcus superbus (Tetrasporales, Chlorophyceae), including the absolute configuration of the flagellar apparatus

The ultrastructure of zoospores of Asterococcus superbus (Cienk.) Scherffel was studied to provide ultrastructural data relevant to the systematic position of the genus. Our results demonstrated that the motile cells of A. superbus were similar to those of the tetrasporalean algae, such as Tetraspor...
