Dasycladales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In taxonomy, the Dasycladales is an order of large unicellular green algae under the class Ulvophyceae. It contains two families, the Dasycladaceae and the Polyphysaceae. These algae are notable for having an intracellular network of 10 nm proteinaceous filaments, possibly for the storage and transport of ribonucleoprotein particles.[1]
