Lissoclinum punctatum Kott, 1977 View in CoL
Specimens: NMNS-8141-012 (Gongzibi), -013 (Jialeshuei).
Colonies were irregularly shaped, fragile sheets ( Fig. 3F View Fig ). They were entirely green due to Prochloron cells in the common cloacal cavity and tunic. Most the Prochloron cells in the tunic were located in the tunic cells, i.e., tunic phycocytes ( Hirose et al. 1996) ( Fig. 3G View Fig ). Intracellular distribution of the cyanobacterial cells is unique to L. punctatum , and photosymbionts are not associated with any tunic cells in the other host ascidians harboring cyanobacteria in the tunic (reviewed in Hirose 2015). Tunic spicules were globular and densely aggregated around each zooid ( Fig. 3H View Fig ). This is a new record of L. punctatum from Taiwan.
