The freshwater green algaHaematococcus pluvialis (Strain Vischer 1923/2) grows best at high nitrate concentrations, and also stimulates the formation of the astaxanthin-containing palmella cells and aplanospores over a wide range of Fe concentrations.

The Australian endemic green alga known as Caulerpa distichophylla along the coasts of Sicily (Italy, Mediterranean Sea) and southeastern Turkey (Gulf of Iskenderun) is identified, and genetic data do not provide undisputed evidence that the species are distinct.

The number of genetic species within the Caulerpa racemosa–peltata complex was determined through a combination of phylogenetic and species‐delimitation approaches of partial elongation factor TU and RUBISCO large subunit gene sequences and names for the lineages were confidently designated.

Summary
To most people, the mention of marine plants conjures up images of rotting seaweed piled high on the beach, or slithering threateningly around bare ankles during a paddle in the shallows.…
Phylogenetic study of the Nemaliales (Rhodophyta) based on large‐subunit ribosomal DNA sequences supports segregation of the Scinaiaceae fam. nov. and resurrection of Dichotomaria Lamarck
- J. Huisman, J. T. Harper, G. Saunders
- Biology
- 1 September 2004
Gene sequence data have been newly obtained for 18 species in 13 genera of the order Nemaliales (Rhodophyta), allowing for the first time a relatively comprehensive molecular phylogenetic appraisal of theorder, and shows Galaxaura to be para/polyphyletic if Actinotrichia and Tricleocarpa are recognized.

A new species, Coelarthrum decumbens, has been recognized in collections from eastern Australia, differing in its decumbent habit and production of tetrasporangia in son.
The red algal genus Scinaia (Galaxauraceae, Nemaliales) from Australia
- J. Huisman
- Biology
- 1 September 1986
Seven species of the genus Scinaia (Nemaliales, Galaxauraceae) are reported from Australia, including three new species and three previously recorded species, with the exception of S. aborealis and S. proliferata which produce numerous sterile branches on their hypogynous cells rather than the two sterile branches uniformly present in other members of the species.
