In 19 strains previously undescribed mucous structures have been founded, viz colonial mucilage, mucous sheath, mucous grains and mucous caps whose presence are inconsistent with the author¡¯s diagnosis of this genus and confirms the assumption of phylogenetic heterogeneity of this genus at the phenotypic level. %K Chlorophyta %K Stichococcus %K mucous structure %K morphology %K culture of microalgae %U http://phytomorphology.org/PDF/MP1/01111114.pdf
