Cosmarium botrytis Menegh under the light and scanning electron microscope

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A detailed study of surface ornamentation under light and scanning electron microscope is undertaken. The present observations have added further to the knowledge in taxonomic identification ofCosmarium botrytis Menegh, in particular because the species revealed a variety of surface ornamentation based on which various species ofCosmarium are specifically identified.
