Morphology<\/h2>\n

Small groups of cells, irregularly distributed throughout large agglomerations; sometimes surrounded by a common mucilage; forming slimy, gelatinous layers upon substrate. Cells, and groups of cells, surrounded by mucilaginous envelopes; usually concentrically lamellated (layered); clearly delimited; colorless or bluish, violet, reddish, or yellow-brown. Cells are widely oval or rarely rod-shaped; <1 \u03bcm to 15 \u03bcm in length; pale to bright blue-green, olive-green, or violet. Cells do not possess aerotopes.<\/p>\n

Ecology<\/h2>\n

Mostly subaerial, growing on wet rocks; a few species occur in aquatic habitats (mostly among algae or aquatic plants, in swamps\/acidic freshwater). The images to the right are of a gelatinous layer formed on the water’s surface, atop submerged aquatic plants in a large freshwater aquarium tank.<\/p>\n
