Scinaiaceae is a family of red algae (Rhodophyta) in the order Nemaliales. [2] [3]

Contents

Huisman had placed former members of Galaxauraceae family, that were lacking lime into his new family of Scinaiaceae. [4]

Distribution

The family has cosmopolitan distribution. [5] Including being found in India, [6] [7] Arabian Sea, [8] Brazil, [9] North America (including Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon [10] ) Chile, New Zealand (Tasmania and Campbell Island) and the Falkland Islands. [3]

Notes

Molecular analyses of DNA on species of Nothogenia has been carried out to determine species relationships. [3]

Most Scinaiaceae species produce mucilage (thick, gluey substance) mainly in the cortical layer. [11]

Several species in the Scinaiaceae family (including Nothogenia fastigiata and Scinaia hatei ) have been screened for anti-viral activity (against herpes, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Influenzavirus A, Influenzavirus B and simian immunodeficiency viruses). Sulfated polysaccharides (xylomannans) from the red alga, have inhibitory effects. [12] [13]

List of genera

According to the AlgaeBase (amount of species per genus); [14]

Former genera; GinanniaMontagne, HalodermaRuprecht, MyelomiumKützing, PseudogloiophloeaLevring and Rhodosaccion(J.Agardh) Montagne. [14]
