Ectocarpus
Ectocarpus is a genus of filamentous brown alga that is a model organism for the genomics of multicellularity.[1] Among possible model organisms in the brown algae, Ectocarpus was selected for the relatively small size of its mature thallus and the speed with which it completes its life cycle.[2][3] The type species for the genus is Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye.[4] The life history is an isomorphic to slightly kiheteromorphic alternation of generations, but asexual strains also exist.
