Radiococcaceae
Radiococcaceae is a family of microscopic green algae in the order Sphaeropleales. Members of this family are widespread in terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
The family Radiococcaceae consists of colonies of cells embedded in a mucilage, generally arranged without a fixed pattern. Cells are spherical, oblong, oval, ellipsoidal or elongated, with a smooth cell wall. Cells contain parietal chloroplasts with or without pyrenoids. Cells reproduce by producing autospores, never by zoospores or hemizoospores.
