Notes on Tow 9-21 P-9w

2/17/01

Culture started 2/6/01

Choricystis-like, but different from other cultures. More detail can be seen of the plastid. Lipid droplets more frequent. Autospores observed, two per. Autospores form through a differnt process than most. Autospores form at ends of elongate cell, but result in two autospores that are aligned along their long axes. Thus, after division, the new cells are observed in that alignment.
