Taxonomy
edit- Class Compsopogonophyceae G. W. Saunders & Hommersand

Genomics
editPlastid genomes of Proteorhodophytina are large, highly diversified, and intron-rich[1] which contrasts with the generally compact and slow-evolving plastid genomes of other rhodophytes.[2] Mitochondrial genomes of Proteorhodophytina are also larger than in other groups of red algae.[3]
