Chaetophoraceae
Chaetophoraceae is a family (biology), family of green algae in the order Chaetophorales. Members of the family are variously semi-terrestrial to aquatic in habitat, and consist of branched filaments in two parts, a prostrate system of filaments and an erect system of filaments. During germination, the zoospore is erect and divides parallel to the substrate. The prostrate system develops from successive divisions of the original zoospore cell, and consists of filaments with square cells attached to the surface, or long thin rhizoids which penetrate the surface. The erect system consists of one, two or several erect branched filaments, sometimes terminating in long hairs.

Draparnaldia
''Draparnaldia'' is a genus of freshwater green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae. It forms branched chains of cells, termed filaments, surrounded by mucilage. It is a cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan genus with wide distribution and it is usually found in cold aerated waters. They are either attached to sand or grow epiphytically on other aquatic plants. ''Draparnaldia'' can be seen growing in clear streams trailing on stones and boulders. Herman S. Forest of The Southern Appalachian Botanical Club has stated that while not common, it is present frequently enough to be recorded in almost all local flora lists of green algae that have been compiled. A multitude of species are present in Lake Baikal, Siberia and have been described by Meyer and Jasnitzky. Morphology ''Draparnaldia'' consists of :wikt:uniseriate, uniseriate filaments (chains of cells arranged in one row), which are attached to a substrate with rhizoids; the plant is surrounded by soft mucilage.

Jaagiella
''Jaagiella'' is a genus of green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae. The genus name of ''Jaagiella'' is in honour of Otto Jaag (1900-1978), who was a Swissr (Hydro-)Biology (botanist, interested in Algology and Mykology) and was Professor of Hydrobiology at the ETH in Zürich Zurich (; ) is the list of cities in Switzerland, largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zurich. It is in north-central Switzerland, at the northwestern tip of Lake Zurich. , the municipality had 448,664 inhabitants. The .... The genus was circumscribed by Wilhelm Vischer in Schweiz. Z. Hydrol. vol.22 on pages 330 and 346 in 1960. The taxonomic status of ''Jagagiella'' is uncertain. Some sources suggest it is synonymous with '' Filoprotococcus'', with the latter name having priority. References Chaetophorales genera Chaetophoraceae Monotypic algae genera {{Chlorophyceae-stub ...

Hormotila
''Hormotila'' is a genus of green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae. The genus was circumscribed by Antonino Borzì in 1883. The type species of ''Hormotila'', '' Hormotila mucigena'', as originally illustrated by Borzì, was a heterogenous assemblage of different algae. Some of his figures showed cells in laminated layers of mucilage, reminiscent of '' Gloeocystis'' or '' Urococcus''. In other figures, the cells were in branched, tubular layers of mucilage. Still other figures showed figures reminiscent of ''Oocystis'', '' Ankistrodesmus'' or '' Elakatothrix''. In 2016, Daniel E. Wujek and Michael J. Wynne redefined the genus by emending the description of the type species to only include the second sense, i.e. cells in branched tubes. Former family ''Hormotila'' was formerly the type genus of the family Hormotilaceae. , AlgaeBase AlgaeBase is a global species database of information on all groups of algae, both seaweed, marine and freshwater algae, freshwater, as well ...

Gongrosira
''Gongrosira'' is a genus of green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae. Species of this genus often form dense green cushions on stones, shells, or aquatic plants; rarely they are terrestrial. ''Gongrosira'' consists of a prostrate and an erect system of filaments, attached to a substrate. The prostrate system is generally pseudoparenchymatous, and may be single- or multi-layered. The erect filaments are short and terminate in blunt tips. Cells are cylindrical, with a parietal chloroplast and one to several pyrenoids. Asexual reproduction occurs via zoospores, aplanospore {{Short pages monitor [Baidu] |

Endophyton
''Endophyton'' is a genus of filamentous green algae in the family Chaetophoraceae. As its name suggests, is an endophyte of marine red and brown algae macroalgae. ''Endophyton'' consists of uniseriate filaments that penetrate the medulla of the host alga. The filaments in the host's medulla are relatively thin, long and pale; the filaments in the host's cortex are broader, shorter and green. Filaments produce irregular branches towards the surface of the host. Cells contain a parietal, perforated chloroplast with one to few pyrenoids. ''Endophyton'' reproduces both asexually (with quadriflagellate zoospores), or sexually (with biflagellate gametes; gametes are anisogamous Different forms of anisogamy: A) anisogamy of motile cells, B) 283x283px Anisogamy is a form of sexual reproduction">egg cell">oogamy (egg cell and sperm cell), C) anisogamy of non-motile cells (egg cell and spermatia).">283x283px Anisogamy is ...).
