Cladophora

Cladophora

 

a genus of widely distributed macroscopic green algae of the class Siphonocladales. They resemble minute attached shrubs with branching filaments consisting of a single row of multinucleate cells with a layered membrane and a netted chloroplast. Reproduction may be asexual (by zoospores) or sexual (isogamy). Meiosis occurs during the formation of spores or gametes. There are about 200 species, found in both salt and fresh waters.

Seaweeds are not only for eating
The genus Cladophora (Ulvophyceae, Clorophyta) is one of the most important of the attached benthic algae as they tend to alter the conditions of the microhabitats they live into by modifying current, blocking sunlight, absorbing dissolved oxygen, collecting detritus and providing refuge for invertebrates (Dodds, 1991; Fernandez & Reid, 2012).
