Nitella

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
Nitella 

a genus of charophyte algae. There are about 100 species, 14 of which are found in the USSR. The plants reach a height of 1 m. The principal shoots and branches consist of long unicellular internodes (up to 25 cm) and multicellular nodes. The lateral shoots are forked and arranged in whorls at the nodes. Reproduction is sexual and vegetative, by fragments of the branches. The algae grow in lakes and freshened parts of the seas. Many species of Nitella are used to study intracellular processes.
