Ultrastructure of a Cyanobacterial Cell
The ultra-structural detail of a typical cyanobacterial cell (Fig. 6.10) is the following: 1. Mucilage Sheath: The cells and filaments of most cyanobacteria are generally surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath whose thickness, pigmentation, consistency, and nature is greatly influenced by environmental factors. It is considered that these microorganisms secrete the mucilage through pores present in their cell walls. 2. Cell [...]
