Klebsormidium Bilatum
''Klebsormidium'' is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae comprising 20 species. The name was proposed in 1972 to resolve confusion in application and status of ''Hormidium'' and was given for the German botanist Georg Albrecht Klebs. The algae occurs mostly in soil and on moist substrates, nevertheless, aquatic and one marine species are also known. Many ''Klebsormidium''-species are able to synthesize substances for UV protection, the so-called mycosporine-like amino acids. The draft genome sequence of ''Klebsormidium nitens'' NIES-2285 (called ''K. flaccidum'' at the time of publication) was published in 2014. Description ''Klebsormidium'' forms uniseriate (one cell thick), unbranched filaments. Cells are cylindrical or barrel-shaped. The cell wall may be thin or thickened, and is sometimes made of H-shaped pieces. Each cell contains a single parietal chloroplast which encircles around 40 to 70% of the cell wall, usually with a single pyrenoid. ''Klebsormidium'' r ...

Paul Silva
Paul Claude Silva (October 31, 1922 – June 12, 2014) was a phycologist, marine biologist, and algal taxonomist considered to be the world's leading expert in the chlorophyte green algal genus ''Codium''. Silva was also an expert in botanical nomenclature and was an editor of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature's Eighth through Sixteenth International Botanical Congresses. Biography Silva completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Southern California, though his education was interrupted by World War II. He served in the US Navy on the USS Darby, participating in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. He attended Stanford University for his master's degree studying under Gilbert Morgan Smith, and University of California, Berkeley for his Ph.D. Silva later worked as a Research Botanist and Curator of Algae at the UCB herbarium. While at UC Berkeley, Silva met his life partner Lawrence Ray Heckard. Honours He has been honoured in the naming of several taxa of al ...
