Abstract

Somers, D. (1972). Scanning electron microscope studies on some species of the centric diatom genera Thalassiosira and Coscinodiscus. Biol. Jb. Dodonaea 40: 304-315

By means of a scanning electron microscope, the submicroscopic structure of four Thalassiosira species and two Coscinodiscus species is studied. Five of these taxa are more or less similar in the arrangement of the areoles; the sixth one is aberrant. Besides the description of each species and the description of the submicroscopic structure of the auxospore of Thalassiosira nordenskiöldii, a classification is given of the six taxa studied.
