Heterokonts (xanthophyceae and chrysophyceae) in rivers

The heterokont classes Xanthophyceae and Chrysophyceae are introduced with its key characteristics and typical benthic river genera. Two relatively widespread genera are the xanthophyte siphonous Vaucheria and the filamentous Tribonema. The heterokont classs (Chrysophyceae) genus Hydrurus is also li...
