Development of merosporangia in Linderina pennispora (Kickxellales, Kickxellaceae) by Hussein H. El-Sheikh, Mohamed E. Zain, Steve T. Moss

“…The merosporangia were obovate, 3-4 μm wide near the base, and narrowed distally to 2.0-2.5 μm wide, 18-23 μm long, possessed a threelayered wall, with regular surface annulation with interconnecting ridges, but lacked rod-shaped ornamentations. The merosporangia contained a single, obovate, 2.3-2.5 μm diam merosporangiospore, with a ca. 1 μm diam papilla-like base, that possessed a four-layered wall. …”
