Cell Wall Growth and Modulation Dynamics in a Model Unicellular Green Alga—Penium margaritaceum: Live Cell Labeling with Monoclonal Antibodies

Table 1

Surface areas of the cell wall under various experimental treatments. All figures are in μm². For each category, at least 50 cells were measured after 48 h incubation.
