- Anadyomena — A genus of marine green algae in the family Anadyomenaceae, structurally characterized by a flat, foliaceous, fan-shaped or leaf-like thallus made of branched filaments arranged in a distinct single cellular layer. These macroalgal organisms develop primarily in warm tropical and subtropical waters, being studied in systematic algology for their unique flabellate cellular architecture and their role in reef biocenoses.
- Autospore — A type of non-motile, asexual spore produced within the parental cell wall in certain species of unicellular green algae (such as the genus Chlorella). The autospore is a perfect, fully formed microscopic replica of the mother cell, possessing the same cellular framework and its own membrane before being released via the rupture of the outer protective wall.
