		Cells of the Rhodophyta possess chloroplasts that, in addition to the phycobilins, contain chlorophyll a, carotenes, and xanthophylls.
		At great ocean depths, where the wavelength of light available for photosynthesis is very different from that in shallow water, the phycobilins become more active than the chlorophylls in absorbing light; this fact may explain the ability of red algae to exist at depths of up to 879 ft (268 m).

	Introduction
		The phylum Rhodophyta, of the Kingdom Protoctista, share similar characteristics with the fungi, such as spore formation and flagellation of cells, while Chytridiomycota and Oomycota have fungus-like characteristics such as hyphae and synthesis of lysine.
		The clade on the left represents the protochtista phylum Rhodophyta; the clade in the middle represents the four phyla of the Kingdom Fungi; Ascomycota, Zygomycota, Oomycota, and Basidiomycota; and the clade on the right represents the protochtista phylum Chytridiomycota.
		The phyla Rhodophyta and Chytridiomycota are in the Kingdom Proctotista, which is where they are in the taxonomy of Holt (1992) as well as of Margulis and Schwartz (1998).

		This group is also known as the Glaucocystophyta, for the reason that the type genus is Glaucocystis -- to which we respond, "so what?" The type species of the Rhodophyta is probably not Rhodis, or algal taxonomy is in very deep trouble.
		On the other hand, the recent identification of Late Proterozoic (or Early Cambrian?) Rhodophyta from superbly preserved phosphate beds in China seems to be a rather sure bet.
		However, the Rhodophyta are now better known as the source of nori, and of various gums, gels, glops and goos used as additives to control the texture and consistency of processed foods, and to prevent the resulting viscous slurry from separating into its noxious component fluids.

		Hence, the pigment composition of the Rhodophyta is similar to that of the Cyanobacteria and the Glaucophyta.
		The food reserve is floridean starch that is free in cytoplasm, and not associated with the chloroplast as it is in many other algae.

		Members of Kingdom Rhodophyta (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/protista/rhodophyta.html) differ from other eukaryotic algae because they do not have flagellated cells at any point in their life cycle.
		Most rhodophytes are marine algae, but a number of species live in freshwater, and some even inhabit terrestrial niches.

		Only multicellular complex forms are represented in the class.

	A Gene Phylogeny of the Red Algae (Rhodophyta) Based on Plastid rbcL -- Freshwater et al. 91 (15): 7281 -- Proceedings ...
		A phylogeny for the Rhodophyta has been inferred by parsimony analysis of plastid rbcL sequences representing 81 species, 68 genera, 38 families, and 17 orders of red algae; rbcL encodes the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
		Levels of sequence divergence among species, genera, and families are high in red algae, typically much greater than those reported for flowering plants.
		The Rhodophyta traditionally consists of one class, Rhodophyceae, and two subclasses, Bangiophycidae and Florideophycidae.

		Below are two valid published taxonomies of the red algae, although neither necessarily has to be used, as the taxonomy of the algae is still in a state of flux.
		Note also that there is continued scientific debate as to whether the Rhodophyta should be included in the Kingdom Protista or the Kingdom Plantae.
		These two classification systems, which place the red algae in the plant kingdom, are shown in the table below.
