CONJUGATAE Green filamentous or unicellular fresh-water algae: cell-wall and nuclei present: reproduction by division of the plant body, and by sexual spores, which latter result from the union of two body cells by means of a connecting tube (conjugation). Plants of the sub-group Desmidiaceae are not filamentous, but often star-shaped, lunate, or geminate in outline. The Zygnemaceae are filamentous with star-shaped (Zygnema), spiral (Spirogyra), or plate-like chloroplastids. The Conjugatae are of little economic importance.
