The paper presents a method of selective fuchsin-based cell wall staining distinguishing xanthophycean and eustigmatophycean species. The members of xanthophyceae exhibit distinct positive reaction, whereas eustigmatophycean strains remain unstained. The method could be useful in the distinguishing of living populations of the species of both classes.
