characeae การใช้
- Introduced tilapia ( " Oreochromis niloticus " ) consumed all the Characeae in Lake Apoyo.
- Characeae are the principal plant life of some of the volcanic crater lakes of Nicaragua, and can be found in excess of 20 meters depth in some circumstances.
- Furthermore, the discovery of calcified charophyta ( particularly of the family Characeae ) and gastropod fossils in Trou au Natron indicates the presence of a lake at least deep during the Late Pleistocene.
- It is probably this power of vegetative propagation which explains the fact that species of Characeae are generally found forming dense clonal mats in the beds of ponds or streams, covering quite large areas.
- Rhizoids small structures performing the same role as roots, usually a cell in diameter probably evolved very early, perhaps even before plants colonised the land; they are recognised in the Characeae, an algal sister group to land plants.
