Basilliphyta

The basilliphyta genus group has replaced its ancestor, the darwin basilliphyta, along with the marine basilliphyta and the basillimat. Each cell has a thick cell wall that prevents the cell from bursting and keeps excess salt out. All of the cells mat together into a tremendous sheet that can reach up to 10 meters wide, yet such a sheet is only 1 centimeter thick. The outer layer filters the saltwater until they die; this filtered water is used for growth by the layer underneath. Some of these sheets can be toxic. They reproduce through binary fission and are found in all bodies of saltwater.
