Paulschulzia

See text Paulschulzia is a genus of green algae, specifically of the family Tetrasporaceae.

The genus name of Paulschulzia is in honour of Paul Schulz(-Danzig) (x – 1935), who was a German naturalist (Phycology and Palaeontology), teacher in Danzig.

Cells are spherical to ovoid, and sometimes with two long pseudoflagella extending out of the outer mucilage layer.

Asexual reproduction occurs by the fragmentation of colonies, or by biflagellate zoospores.

[3] Paulschulzia is similar to and closely related to the genus Tetraspora, with both consisting of colonies of cells embedded in an amorphous, mucilaginous matrix.
