Gloeotila is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae. It is typically found in freshwater habitats, either attached to surfaces or planktonic, or found in soil.
==Description== Gloeotila consists of unbranched, uniseriate filaments of cells which are generally surrounded by a sheath of mucilage. The cells are connected to each other loosely and thus the filaments often loosely break apart. The cells are cylindrical in shape, longer than wide, and are connected end-to-end, Cells are uninucleate (with one nucleus). Cells have one parietal chloroplast filling the length of the cell; pyrenoids are absent. Reproduction occurs by the formation of biflagellate zoospores.
