Class Klebsormidiophyceae

The class can be characterized by the type of cell division, that occurs by furrowing and the presence of centrosomes with astral microtubules and centrioles, which act as mitotic spindle organizer (Pickett-Heaps 1975). The members of this class form either sarcinoid or unbranched filamentous thalli and inhabit terrestrial and freshwater habitats (Škaloud & Rindi 2013; Mikhailyuk et al. 2018b).
