Klebsormidium is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae comprising 20 species.[1] The name was proposed in 1972 to resolve confusion in application and status of Hormidium[Note 1] and was given for the German botanist Georg Albrecht Klebs.[Note 2]
The algae occurs mostly in soil and on moist substrates, nevertheless, aquatic and one marine species are also known. Many Klebsormidium-species are able to synthesize substances for UV protection, the so-called mycosporine-like amino acids. The draft genome sequence of Klebsormidium nitens NIES-2285 (called K. flaccidum at the time of publication) was published in 2014.[3]
