Yellow-Green and Raphidophyte Algae

Yellow-Green and Raphidophyte Algae is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers microalgae and filamentous algae of the heterokont lineage that are neither diatoms nor green algae, namely the yellow-green algae, such as the water felt genus Vaucheria, and the raphidophytes, unicellular flagellates such as Chattonella that are linked to harmful red tide blooms in coastal waters. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes a yellow-green alga or a raphidophyte. It excludes the diatoms, cryptomonads, euglenoids, glaucophytes, haptophytes and green microalgae, which have groups of their own. The group lets a reader compare a freshwater mat-forming alga with a marine bloom-forming flagellate.
