Changes of superficial configuration of symbiotic algae during the cultivation were studied by means of a microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). A number of small cavities appeared on the sur- faces of symbiotic algae after they were cultivated for 10 h. The cavities enlarged and the cell contents were lost with extended culti- vation. Our data suggested that the presence of cavities on symbiotic algae surfaces may be one of the main reasons for failure to culture symbiotic algae in an artificial medium.展开更多
