Abstract

After septum formation and dissolution of the zoosporangial apex wall in Vaucheria fontinalis (L.) Christensen, a multi-flagellated zoospore is released and remains motile for a few hours. Settlement of the zoospore occurs with flagellar retraction, after which a cell wall is formed by peripheral vesicles. Subsequent germination initiates polarity and the development of vegetative filament growth.
