Classes

Proteorhodophytina is a subdivision of red algae containing unicellular, pseudofilamentous, and filamentous photosynthetic eukaryotes.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Genomics

[edit]

Plastid genomes of Proteorhodophytina are large, highly diversified, and intron-rich[1] which contrasts with the generally compact and slow-evolving plastid genomes of other rhodophytes.[2] Mitochondrial genomes of Proteorhodophytina are also larger than in other groups of red algae.[3]
