Trichosarcina

Trichosarcina is a genus of green algae in the order Ulotrichales.[1] Filoprotococcus was once regarded as a synonym.[2] However, Filoprotococcus is now considered valid in its own right.[3] Trichosarcina is considered to be of uncertain validity.[1]

As of February 2022, AlgaeBase accepted only one species, Trichosarcina polymorpha.[1] Its life cycle includes a uniseriate, Hormidium-like phase; a pluriseriate stage, and, finally, a chain of sarcinoid packets which may dissociate. The cells are uninucleate, with a parietal chloroplast and single pyrenoid. Quadriflagellate zoospores are produced by cells of the pluriseriate and sarcinoid stages.[4]
