Microalgae-based wastewater treatment is a promising platform since it enables nutrient recovery. The use of filamentous algae could improve this technology by reducing harvesting cost and enhancing biomass management. The ...

Basicladia emedii sp. nov. is described based on material from six streams in Parana and Rio Grande do Sul States of Brazil. This is only the second species of Basicladia recorded from South America. The new species is ...

An obligate intracellular parasite infecting Ectocarpus spp. and other filamentous marine brown algae is described. The pathogen forms an unwalled multinucleate syncytium (plasmodium) within the host cell cytoplasm and ...

Mesoalgae play a key role in shallow coastal ecosystems. Composed of small macroalgae, intermixed with filamentous cyanobacteria and colonial diatoms, these multi-specific, but minute (μm-cm) assemblages form complex ...

We describe for the first time the morphology of Gelidium crinale from its natural habitat in Atlantic Patagonia with special consideration of diagnostic characters. Observations and morphometric measurements were done ...

The heterokont classes Xanthophyceae and Chrysophyceae are introduced with its key characteristics and typical benthic river genera. Two relatively widespread genera are the xanthophyte siphonous Vaucheria and the filamentous ...
