Abstract EN
The vacuole of utricles, the outermost cell layer of the siphonous green seaweed, Codium minus, had numerous single needles and needle bundles.
The crystals composing each needle appeared arranged in a twisted configuration, both ends were pointed, and each needle was contained in a matrix or membrane; bundles of needles appeared enclosed by a matrix.
Chemical and electron diffraction analysis indicated that the needles consisted of calcium oxalate.
This is the first paper on terrestrial plant-like raphides in an alga.
