Transmission electron microscopy of the gamont stage of Pterospora floridiensis has revealed a number of features. The gamont's surface varies from smooth to crenulate, with numerous pockets and folds. The pellicle is composed of an outer membrane, a middle lucent region, and an inner dense layer comprised of two tightly appressed membranes. Short ridges on the pellicle are 200—300 nm long, 75–100 nm wide, and have a height of ∼ 50 nm. The thickness of the pellicle is 100 nm when measured from the inner membrane to the top of a ridge. The ridges are formed by the plasma membrane and an underlying structure that is circular in cross-section. The surface folds and the pellicular ridges are distributed over the soma and the cell's unusual branching arms, though both are reduced near the junction between two gamonts in syzygy, and are absent at the central area of the junctional site. The cell has numerous active Golgi complexes associated with vesicles, as well as scattered dense mitochondria, lipid droplets, and paraglycogen granules. The nucleus has a large (13 μm) endosome, eccentrically located, and peripheral chromatin along the inner nuclear membrane.
