Morphological Features of  Species

The filaments are long, tendency to disintegration and approximately possed 7.3 µm width. The length-width ratio of the cells is (6.03min)9.1(11.21max) x (6.11min) 7.3(8.56max) µm. The cells are cylindrical-shaped and cell wall is moderately thickened. H-fragments are rarely present and chloroplast covers half to 2/3 of the cell inner surface with smooth margin. Pyrenoid is large and surrounded by several layers of starch grains. K. flaccidum cells in liquid media forming superficial hydrorepellent layer whereas on agar forming undulating colonies (Mikailyuk,2015).
