The red algae are almost exclusively marine.
Some are unicellular but most are multicellular.
Approximately 4000 species have been identified.
They are photosynthetic using chlorophyll a.

Plants, some algae, and some bacteria obtain their energy from light. The light energy is used to bond molecules of carbon dioxide together to form sugar (glucose). The energy is stored in glucose. This process is called photosynthesis.

Green plants and algae also use both photosystems. In these organisms, photosynthesis occurs in organelles (membrane bound structures within the cell) called chloroplasts.

An organism whose cells possess a nucleus and other membrane-bound vesicles, including all members of the protist, fungi, plant and animal kingdoms; and excluding viruses, bacteria, and blue-green algae. See Prokaryote. Evolution.

Detection of BW agents: MPD technology is applicable to the full spectrum of BW agents, including viruses, bacteria, algae and biotoxins. Initially, we propose the use of MPD enhanced detection methods for individual targets.

Ciliate protozoa also have some variation in the genetic code: UAG and often UAA code for Glutamine (a variant also found in some green algae), or UGA codes for Cysteine.
