Here, algae-based fuels hold great promise, [119] [120] directly related to the potential to produce more biomass per unit area in a year than any other form of biomass. The break-even point for algae-based biofuels is estimated to occur by 2025. [121]
Turbinaria J.V. Lamouroux is a genus under family Sargassaceae, order Fucales, of the class Phaeophyceae (brown algae). Taxonomic classification is based on morphological characteristics including the shape of the leaves, vesicles, and receptacles, as well as the development of the axes. [4]
The genus name of Jania is derived from the Greek water nymph called Ianeira (or Janeria). [2] It was first circumscribed by Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1812. [3] Based on a recent integrated taxonomic examination of the genus, and by extension its tribe Janieae, the members of Cheilosporum and Haliptilon have all been transferred under genus Jania [4].
In biology, taxonomic rank (which some authors prefer to call nomenclatural rank [1] because ranking is part of nomenclature rather than taxonomy proper, according to some definitions of these terms) is the relative or absolute level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a hierarchy that reflects evolutionary relationships.
Green algae are often classified with their embryophyte descendants in the green plant clade Viridiplantae (or Chlorobionta). Viridiplantae, together with red algae and glaucophyte algae, form the supergroup Primoplantae, also known as Archaeplastida or Plantae sensu lato. The ancestral green alga was a unicellular flagellate. [20]
Padina and Newhousia are the only genera in the brown algae group that is calcareous. [ 1 ] Padina species are differentiated based on the cell layer number, sporangial sori arrangement relative to hair bands and hair band presence or lack of on the lower thallus surface.
Chlamydomonas (/ ˌ k l æ m ɪ ˈ d ɒ m ə n ə s,-d ə ˈ m oʊ-/ KLAM-ih-DOM-ə-nəs, -də-MOH-) is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species [2] of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae". [3]
Charophyta (UK: / k ə ˈ r ɒ f ɪ t ə, ˌ k ær ə ˈ f aɪ t ə /) is a group of freshwater green algae, called charophytes (/ ˈ k ær ə ˌ f aɪ t s /), sometimes treated as a division, [2] yet also as a superdivision [3] or an unranked clade.
