Subphylum of red algae
Proteorhodophytina is a subdivision of red algae containing unicellular , pseudofilamentous, and filamentous photosynthetic eukaryotes .[ 1]
Taxonomy
Genomics
Plastid genomes of Proteorhodophytina are large, highly diversified, and intron -rich[ 1] which contrasts with the generally compact and slow-evolving plastid genomes of other rhodophytes .[ 2] Mitochondrial genomes of Proteorhodophytina are also larger than in other groups of red algae.[ 3]
