Rhodophyceae -

  • The members of Rhodophyceae are commonly called red algae. Eg. Polysiphonia, Porphyra, Gelidium etc. 
  • They mostly live in warmer marine waters.
  • The thallus is usually multicellular and some even have complex organization.
  • Cell wall contains cellulose and pectin along with phycocolloids and carrageenan.
  • They have chlorophyll a and d. 
  • The red colour is due to R-Phycoerythrin. 
  • It also has a phycocyanin. 
  • Due to the presence of Phycoerythrin they can grow in deep waters where other algae cannot grow.
  • The reserve food is Floridean Starch which is similar to amylopectin and glycogen. 
  • Vegetative reproduction takes place by fragmentation. 
  • Asexual reproduction by non-flagellate spores called as archaeospores, neutral spores and mono spores.
  • Sexual reproduction takes place by oogamy. 
  • The female sex organ is carpogonium with a single egg cell and male sex organ spermatangium with non-motile male gametes called as spermatia. 
  • This algal group shows post fertilisation changes also.
