Franceia is a genus of green algae belonging to the family Oocystaceae. [1]
The genus was first described by Ernst Lemmermann in 1898. [1]
The genus name of Franceia is in honour of Raoul Heinrich Francé (1874-1943), who was an Austro-Hungarian botanist, microbiologist as well as a natural and cultural philosopher and popularizer of science. [2]
The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [3]

Oscillatoria limnetica is a species of freshwater cyanobacteria in the genus Oscillatoria. It is a facultative anaerobic organism, so it uses hydrogen sulfide for a hydrogen source in photosynthesis when it is abundant or when in anaerobic conditions; in aerobic conditions, it uses water instead. It is of interest in phylogeny of cyanobacteria because its usage of aerobic and anaerobic hydrogen sources shows that both are compatible. It is being studied as evidence of species' changes from using hydrogen sulfide to water.
Entwisleia is a monotypic genus in the red algae family, Entwisleiaceae. There is just one species in this genus, Entwisleia bella, from south-eastern Tasmania and represents both a new family and a new order (Entwisleiales) in the Nemaliophycidae.
