In a fine-structure study of Phaeostrophion irregulare (Dictyosiphonales) most characteristics of the organelles and their interrelationships were found to be similar to those previously reported for other brown algae. However, there was an interesting variation regarding the pyrenoid and the nucleus–chloroplast association in the macroscopic thallus. The pyrenoid is present in the cells of the sporeling but absent from the thallus which grows directly from it. In addition, there is no evidence of any connection between the outer membranes of the nucleus and the chloroplast in the cells of the blade. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the phyletic importance of the pyrenoid and the possible implications of observing a limited number of heterogeneous tissue types, such as spore, sporeling, and mature thallus, in comparative studies.

During an ultrastructure study of cells of both parental field material and cultured sporelings of the marine brown alga Leathesia difformis (Chordariales) it was noted that chloroplasts of the field thalli were typical of those previously reported in other brown algae. However, at least two features of chloroplast structure were unique in many cells of the cultured sporelings: constant three-thylakoid type banding without variation in the number of discs and the formation of extra bands between the regular ones in an intermediate region, resulting in a stack of as many as 40 to 60 long, loosely-associated discs.

AbstractIn this review, we make a survey of the structure studies for the chalcogen elements and several chalcogenides in liquid, amorphous and nanosized state by using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). The chalcogen elements have hierarchic structures; the chain structure constructed with the strong covalent bond as a primary structure, and the weaker interaction between chains as a secondary one. Existence of these two kinds of interactions induces exotic behaviors in the liquid, amorphous and nanosized state of the chalcogen and chalcogenides. XAFS is a powerful structure analysis technique for multi-element systems and the disordered materials, so it is suitable for the study of such as liquid, amorphous and nanosized mixtures. In section 2, the structures for the liquid state are discussed, which show the interesting semiconductor-metal transition depending on their temperatures and components. In section 3, the structure for the amorphous states are discussed. Especially, some of chalcogens and chalcogenides present the photostructural change, which is important industrial application. In section 4, the structures of nanosized state, nanoparticles and isolated chain confined into the narrow channel, are discussed. The studies of the nanoparticle and the isolated chain reveal the alternative role between the intrachain covalent bonds and the interchain interaction.
