Species

Acrochaete is a genus of marine green algae of the family Ulvellaceae known to live as endoparasites of other algae, although they may eventually be found growing on inorganic substrates, such as rocks. [1] [2]

Description

Species of Acrochaete are small prostrate and filamentous algae with irregularly branched filaments. The cells produce hyaline hairs, which are considered a diagnostic character of the genus. [2]
