Description
provided by World Register of Marine Species
Red algae with unicellular, pseudofilamentous or filamentous bodies inhabiting mesophilic freshwater and marine environments. Members of this group do not develop macroscopic, pseudoparenchymatous or parenchymatous seaweed-type thalli as those of the Eurhodophytina; variable plastid morphologies and organellar associations; plastid genomes with a large number of introns and a quadripartite organization where the rRNA operon-containing inverted repeats are divergent relative to the small single copy region.
