Abstract

Three topics dealing with morphology and taxonomy of coccoid blue-green algae are discussed. In the first part the new records of some chroococcal algae are mentioned, then the problem of cell division in two markedly unequal portions is analyzed and, finally, a few examples of incrustation in planktonic chroococcal species are given.
