Pyrenoids are sub-cellular phase-separated micro-compartments
found in
chloroplasts of many algae, and in a
single group of land plants, the hornworts...

Starch can also ac****ulate
around the
pyrenoids when CO2 is scarce.
Pyrenoids can
divide to form new
pyrenoids, or be
produced "de novo".
Thylakoids (sometimes...
- autospores. Each cell
contains a
single chloroplast, a
variable number of
pyrenoids (including lack thereof), and from one to
hundreds of
flagella without...

monoplastidic species, a
cellular structure called a
pyrenoid is absent. The

single parietal chloroplast and a
single pyrenoid lacking a

Cells are cylindrical, uninucleate, with one
parietal chloroplast and
pyrenoids.
Terminal cells have long,
basally swollen hairs attached to them. A****ual...
