Primary zoospores escape through long discharge tubes and assume an abbreviated period of motility before encysting. Laterally biflagellate secondary zoospores subsequently emerge from the cysts. Coincident with discharge tube formation, the thallus undergoes strong vacuolization giving the protoplast a reticulate aspect with nuclei situated between the vacuoles and connected to one another by protoplasmic threads. Stages in zoosporogenesis resemble those of members of the Lagenidiales. It is proposed that Atkinsiella be included in the Eurychasmaceae along with Eurychasma and Eurychasmidium and that the family be transferred to the Lagenidiales. All members of this family have diplanetic zoospores. Citing Literature Volume64, Issue6July 1977Pages 760-769 RelatedInformation
