Fig. 3  (a) Photograph of the green endophyte Chlorocythrium inclusum in the red alga Euthora cristata from Kapp Wijk, Isfjorden. C. inclusum represents the diploid phase in the life cycle of Spongomorpha aeruginosa. (b) Microscopic view of cells in Ulvaria splendens. The arrow is pointing at a cell with three visible pyrenoids. This species is found in Svalbard for the first time. Herbarium specimens of (c) U. splendens from Vestpynten and (d) Ulvaria obscura (right) from Colesbukta. Note the difference in colour. (e) Laminariocolax aecidioides growing inside Saccharina latissima from Vestpynten, Isfjorden, in 2012. (f) Fucus vesiculosus from site Bohemanneset, Isfjorden, in 2010. Identified by both morphology (it was dioecious) and molecular methods.
