Asparagopsis taxiformis (red sea plume or limu kohu), formerly A. sanfordiana, [1] is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters. [2] Researchers have demonstrated that feeding ruminants a diet containing 0.2% A. taxiformis seaweed reduced their methane emissions by nearly 99 percent.
Later, botanists treated them as a separate algae group, class Cryptophyceae or division Cryptophyta, while zoologists treated them as the flagellate protozoa order Cryptomonadina. In some classifications, the cryptomonads were considered close relatives of the dinoflagellates because of their (seemingly) similar pigmentation, being grouped as ...
Red algae, like Gracilaria, Gelidium, Euchema, Porphyra, Acanthophora, and Palmaria are primarily known for their industrial use for phycocolloids (agar, algin, furcellaran and carrageenan) as thickening agent, textiles, food, anticoagulants, water-binding agents, etc. [87] Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is one of the most consumed red algae and is a ...
The Archaeplastida (or kingdom Plantae sensu lato "in a broad sense"; pronounced / ɑːr k ɪ ˈ p l æ s t ɪ d ə /) are a major group of eukaryotes, comprising the photoautotrophic red algae (Rhodophyta), green algae, land plants, and the minor group glaucophytes. [6]
Coralline algae are red algae in the order Corallinales. They are characterized by a thallus that is hard because of calcareous deposits contained within the cell walls. The colors of these algae are most typically pink, or some other shade of red, but some species can be purple, yellow, blue, white, or gray-green.

The chloroplasts are pigmented similarly to those of the heterokonts, [5] but the structure of the rest of the cell is different, so it may be that they are a separate line whose chloroplasts are derived from similar red algal endosymbionts. Haptophyte chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a, c 1, and c 2 but lack chlorophyll b.
