Phaeophyta - Brown Algae
The brown colour of these algae results from the dominance of the xanthophyll pigment fucoxanthin; this masks the other pigments, Chlorophyll a and c (no Chlorophyll b), ß-carotene
and other xanthophylls. Food reserves are typically complex polysaccharides, sugars and higher alcohols; the principal carbohydrate reserve is laminaran. and true starch is absent (cf. the
green algae) [eng]

Introduction to the Phaeophyta
The largest of the chromists are the Phaeophyta, the brown algae -- the largest brown algae may reach over 30 meters in length. The rockweed
shown at left, Fucus distichous, visible at low tide at the Berkeley Marina in California, is somewhat smaller. Almost all phaeophytes are
marine. [eng]

Algae Divisions - PHAEOPHYTA
Dept. Botany, NMNH, Smithsonian Institution. The Phaeophyta are almost entirely marine, frequently dominating rocky shores in cold and temperate waters throughout the world. The giant kelp,
Macrocystis pyrifera , forms expansive seaweed forests off the west coast of North America and provides habitat and shelter for many other organisms.
Tropical waters have fewer species of brown algae, although genera such as Sargassum and Turbinaria can dominate in some areas to form small-scale
forests. [eng]

Botanik online: Algen - Phaeophyta
Die Abteilung Phaeophyta enthält nur eine Klasse, die Phaeophyceae (=Fucophyceae), die in 11-13 Ordnungen untergliedert wird. Es gibt etwa 1500 bis 2000 Arten, die 250
Gattungen zugeordnet werden. [deu]
