All the members of this group develop into unbranched filaments, one cell thick, which grow longer through normal [[cell]] division. Most live in [[Fresh water|freshwater]], and form an important component of the algal scum that grows on or near plants, rocks, and various debris. == Other websites == {{commonscat-inline|Zygnematales}} {{wikispecies-inline|Zygnematales}} {{taxonbar|from=Q497859}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Algae]] {{biology-stub}}
