Liagoraceae is a family of red algae (Rhodophyta) in the order Nemaliales. [2] The type genus is LiagoraJ.V.Lamouroux.

Contents

It was originally called Helminthocladiaceae by J.Agardh in 1851, but P. Silva in 1980 stated that this was predated by Liagoraceae which was published in 1843. Various authors over several years, had tried to form tribes within the family, but it was found (each time) that the family is not able to be divided naturally. [3] As the morphological character analyses show too much variation. [4]

The family was found to be polyphyletic (having a mixed evolutionary origin) based on analyses of rbcL enzymes. The 2 genera of Yamadaella and Liagoropsis, which were previously placed in the Dermonemataceae family, were found to have independent lineages and could be recognized as two new families Yamadaellaceae and Liagoropsidaceae. [5]

Description

Many species are irregular and paniculate (much-branched). They have a basic dichotomous branching but with numerous proliferous lateral branches. [6] They have a thallus (gametophyte) which is erect, they are approx. 1 to 30 cm (0.39 to 11.81 in) tall. With usually much branched irregularly to sub-dichotomously with terete branches, they are mucilagionous, multi-axical with a loose filamentous entwined medulla. [7]

Distribution

The family has cosmopolitan distribution. [8] Species are found in places such as Bermuda, [9] Hawaii, [10] New Caledonia, [11] Egypt, [12] Australia, [13] [14] Canary Islands, [15] China (Hsisha Islands [16] and Hainan Island [17] ) and Japan. [18]

They have been found at depths between 3 and 20 m (9.8 and 65.6 ft) (below the sea level). [19]

Gracilaria is a genus of red algae (Rhodophyta) notable for its economic importance as an agarophyte, as well as its use as a food for humans and various species of shellfish. Various species in the genus are cultivated among Asia, South America, Africa and Oceania.

<i>Codium</i> Genus of algae

Codium is a genus of edible green macroalgae under the order Bryopsidales. The genus name is derived from a Greek word that pertains to the soft texture of its thallus. One of the foremost experts on Codium taxonomy was Paul Claude Silva at the University of California, Berkeley. P.C. Silva was able to describe 36 species for the genus and in honor of his work on Codium, the species C. silvae was named after the late professor.

Desmarestia is a genus of brown algae found worldwide. It is also called acid weed, acidweed, oseille de mer, sea sorrel, ウルシグサ, stacheltang, mermaid's hair, landlady's wig, or gruagach. However, 'sea sorrel' can also specifically refer to Desmarestia viridis. Members of this genus can be either annual or perennial. Annual members of this genus store sulfuric acid in intracellular vacuoles. When exposed to air they release the acid, thereby destroying themselves and nearby seaweeds in the process. They are found in shallow intertidal zones.
