Rindifilum ramosum gen. nov., sp. nov.
Rindifilum ramosum gen. nov., sp. nov. with the features of the genus. Thalli up to 0.5 mm consist of prostrate and erected/upright filaments. The vegetative cells of prostrate system are composed by rounded/spherical, pear-shaped or ovoid cells, up to 13.5 µm wide and 13.2 µm long. The pyriform cells of the prostrate system first develop into characteristic “hammer-shaped cells”, up to 77.6 µm long and 33 µm wide. Later on, filaments up to 147 µm long and 4 µm wide are produced. The chloroplast is parietal, usually filling the cell, with a spherical pyrenoid.
