Families

Bangiales is an order of multicellular red algae of the class Bangiophyceae containing the families Bangiaceae, Granufilaceae,[1] and possibly the extinct genus Rafatazmia with one species, Rafatazmia chitrakootensis.[2] They are one of the oldest eukaryotic organisms, possibly dating back to 1.6 billion years old. Many species are used today as food in different cultures worldwide. Their sizes range from microscopic (Bangiomorpha) to up to two meters long (Wildemania occidentalis).[3] Many of its species are affected by Pythium porphyrae, a parasitic oomycete.[4][5][6][7] Similar to many other species of red algae, they reproduce both asexually and sexually. They can be both filamentous or foliose, and are found worldwide.[8]
