The fine structure of the immobile stage of C. bataviense Klebs reveals several features which may prove helpful in understanding the parameters of the order Phytodinales. The cell covering is confluent with no thecal plates. Neither external membranes nor pores are present. The pusule tubules and collecting chamber have no external opening via flagellar pores or canals. The cell is highly vacuolate with a tonoplast‐like membrane delimiting the pusule system from the cytoplasm in the interior of the cell. Polyvesicular bodies, mitochondria with enlarged matrices containing electron‐dense bodies, vesicles which may contain flagellar hairs, crystals, and large accumulation bodies are present.
