Haplospora globosa Kjellm. and Scaphospora speciosa Kjellm. in Culture

Abstract

THE reproduction and life-cycle of the order Tilop-teridales have attracted the interest of phycologists for a long time. Reinke1 was the first to investigate these problems and, although he was unable to provide any definite evidence, he concluded that the algae in question represent alternating generations of one species, a sporophyte producing non-motile quadrinucleate monospores and an oogamous gametophyte. Reinke's view was adopted by such authorities as Kylin2,3, Oltmanns4 and Smith5, but rejected by Sauvageau6 and Christensen7.
