- not comparableRelating to a perizonium.
The development of the auxospore casing involves the formation of two series of perizonial bands, transverse and longitudinal, as in other raphid diatoms that have been investigated (e.g. Rhoicosphenia Grun.: Mann 1982).
1993, P. A. Sims, Progress in Diatom Studies: Contributions to Taxonomy, Ecology and Nomenclature1 more example
There, diatoms with isodiametrically growing auxospores and incunabula in their walls (one group of centrics) are separated from those growing anisodiametrically with walls containing incunabula and perizonial bands (remaining centrics and pennates; Fig 1).
