Ectocarpus
''Ectocarpus'' is a genus of filamentous brown alga that is a model organism for the genomics of multicellularity. Among possible model organisms in the brown algae, ''Ectocarpus'' was selected for the relatively small size of its mature thallus and the speed with which it completes its life cycle. The type species for the genus is '' Ectocarpus siliculosus'' ( Dillwyn) Lyngbye. The life history is an isomorphic to slightly kiheteromorphic alternation of generations, but asexual strains also exist. Taxonomy and Nomenclature In 1809, Dillwyn described ''Ectocarpus'' as another algae known as ''Conferva siliculosa'' basing from collected specimens by W.J. Hooker from Norfolk and East Sussex. In 1819, Lyngbye subsequently described ''Ectocarpus'' using a specimen from Denmark, citing ''C. siliculosa'' Dilwyn as its basionym. These brown algae are known members of heterokonts, which includes diatoms and oomycetes. Ectocarpales is known to be primitive from a phylogenetic standpoi ...
