Ulvellaceae consists of macroscopic and macroscopic algae that are usually attached to a substrate, occasionally free-living. They form branched filaments or pseudoparenchymatous masses. Cells contain a single nucleus and a single parietal chloroplast with one to several pyrenoids. Both asexual and sexual reproduction have been observed in representatives of Ulvellaceae.[2]
