Zygnematophyceae (or Conjugatophyceae) is a class of green algae in the paraphylum streptophyte algae, also referred to as Charophyta,[2] consisting of more than 4000 described species.[3] The Zygnematophyceae are the sister clade of the Embryophyta (land plants).[4][5][6]
Common members of the Zygnematophyceae include the filamentous algae Spirogyra and Mougeotia, as well as desmids, which are microscopic algae characterized by symmetrical and elaborately ornate cells.[7]
