Description: English: Transmission electron micrographs of Crocosphaera cells harvested at the 6-h time point during the light period (A to C) and at the 6-h time point during the dark (D to F). Starch granules (SG) and thylakoid membranes (THY) are observed mostly on the edge of the cytosol. More-detailed images (C and F) show that SG are observed mostly between THY. Date: 11 December 2019.
