Ultrastructural details of envelope formation are described comparatively for several species of the genus Trachelomonas. The first-formed envelope component in T. oblonga var. punctata Prings. is an external “skin”. Next, a fibrillar layer is produced between the skin and the cell surface. Ferric hydroxide and manganese compounds are precipitated on this inner layer to form a thick envelope, species-specific in size, shape, ornamentation and collar characteristics. The original skin is then lost. A similar sequence of events occurs during envelope formation in other species, but differences exist in the details of the process and in the texture and complexity of construction of the mature envelopes. T. volvocina Ehrenb. has a fibrillar inner layer and granular precipitation, but produces a complex three-layered envelope with a honeycombed central layer. This is compared with the superficially similar three-layered envelope of an unnamed species from a wild collection, and subtle differences in ultrastruc...
