Abstract
The complete life history of the distromatic species Porphyra miniata has been obtained in culture. Conchospores were released from the conchosporangia only at low temperature (~5 °C). These spores formed the leafy thallus of about 1 m in length. After about 4 months the leafy thalli developed α- and β-spores; the former were viable and initiated the life history again. Neutral spores were not observed in specimens either from nature or from culture.
