A genus of single-celled green algae found in marine and brackish water environments.
From Greek 'halos' (salt) + 'sphaera' (sphere, ball). Named for its round, spherical form found in salty waters.
Halosphaera algae are tiny floating spheres that drift in oceans worldwide, and they've been found in the guts of deep-sea creatures and in Arctic ice cores—they're truly cosmopolitan ocean citizens!
