Rhizoclonium is a genus of green algae in the family Cladophoraceae. It is a cosmopolitan genus found in fresh, brackish and marine waters.
==Description== Rhizoclonium consists of straight or curved, uniseriate filaments which are usually unbranched. Filaments have short rhizoids which are up to a few cells long, which arise from the sides of filaments or at the ends. Cells are cylindrical, generally 3.5 to 35 μm wide (rarely up to 60 μm wide), with a thin cell wall. Cells are multinucleate, i.e. with multiple (usually two to four) nuclei arranged axially. The chloroplasts are parietal, net-like and with multiple pyrenoids.
