Fig. 1. Images ofBotryococcusalginite in Boltysk oil shale obtained uisng incident ¯uoresent light microscopy (a, b) and LSM (c, d). See explanation of image capturing in Methodology: (a) and (b) colony ofBotryococcus; (c) colonies ofBotryococcusalginite compiled from LSM serial sections; (d) colony ofBotryococcusalginite showing microstructure within the stalk.
Fig. 2. Images ofBotryococcustaken with LSM: (a)Botryococcuscolony showing granular microtexture of stalk and `cell content regions' surrounded by outer cell walls (areas 1 and 2 are enlarged in Figs. 2d and 3a, respectively); (b±d) granularity within stalk and `cell contents regions' and microlayering within outer cell walls. Also note preservation of very thin, outer walls of apical cells (a).
Fig. 3. Images ofBotryococcustaken with LSM: (a) enlargement of area 2 in Fig. 2a showing a pair of `reproducing'Botryococcus
cells (r) and granular organic components within `cell contents regions'. The geometric arrangement in this region (arrow) shows morphology grossly similar to aplanospores or zoospores; (b) granular microtexture within stalk and `cell contents regions' of
Botryococcus.
