Abstract
A new pattern of colony differentiation was observed in a portion of a clone (5%) in the normally undifferentiated species, Eudorina elegans. The new form possesses somatic and generative cells arranged on opposite sides of the anterior–posterior axis of the colony and the somatic cells die gradually during colony maturation. The development and ultimate pattern of colony differentiation is described and compared with known patterns of differentiation in Eudorina illinoisensis and Eudorina (Pleodorina) californica. A possible mechanism to account for colony differentiation in Eudorina is discussed.
