Phylogenetic analysis of Batrachospermaceae (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) based on plastid and mitochondrial genomes, with the description of two new species of different genera

Key Points

• The phylogenetic analysis reveals significant insights into the genetic diversity of Batrachospermaceae.
• Utilizing both plastid and mitochondrial genomes, two new species are described, expanding known biodiversity.
• Following extensive genetic sequencing, the study confirms relationships within Rhodophyta that were previously unclear.
• This comprehensive analysis supports ongoing efforts in algal taxonomy and biodiversity research.
