| We studied the karyology of Bangia atropurpurea (Roth) C. Ag. collected from marine and freshwater populations from the Mediterranean region and some northeastern Atlantic localities. Gametophytic thalli had two haploid karyotypes, n = 3 and n = 4. The n = 4 karyotype was only occasionally present in the Mediterranean and was also found in one Atlantic population, confirming a previous report. We propose that the four-chromosome karyotype is an aneuploid form, n + 1. Chromosomes were frequently observed either in a parallel arrangement or in a circular configuration. |
