siphonaceous (siphoneous) Applied to algae in which the thallus is not divided up by septa, i.e. the many nuclei are not compartmentalized into cells. The typical siphónaceous alga has a large central vacuole surrounded by a layer of protoplasm, containing nuclei and chloroplasts, which lines the cell wall.
