Audouinella, also known as black algae, [1] is a widespread genus of red algae, found in marine and freshwater environments. [ 2 ] The form known as " black brush algae " (or " black beard algae ", BBA for short) is a particular nuisance in aquaria , since most algae eater fish and invertebrates avoid it.
However, total elimination of algae is considered unlikely in a hobby aquarium. Algae can be used as an bioindicator to inform an aquarist on water chemistry and other conditions. [2] Some species are intentionally cultivated within algae scrubbers. Few algae, such as marimo or red moss, are sought after for aquascaping in freshwater aquaria.

Phycobilins (from Greek: φύκος (phykos) meaning "alga", and from Latin: bilis meaning "bile") are light-capturing bilins found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of red algae, glaucophytes and some cryptomonads (though not in green algae and plants). [1] Most of their molecules consist of a chromophore which makes them coloured. [1]
Neorhodomela larix, commonly known as black pine, is a species of red algae native to coastal areas of the North Pacific, from Mexico to the Bering Sea to Japan. It forms dense mats on semi-exposed rocks in intertidal areas. The thallus is dark brown to black in color with whorled branches resembling a bottlebrush or a pine tree's branches. [1] [2]
Nannochloropsis microalgae Collection of microalgae cultures in CSIRO's lab. Microalgae or microphytes are microscopic algae invisible to the naked eye.They are phytoplankton typically found in freshwater and marine systems, living in both the water column and sediment. [1]
The dish's name is believed to have come from its clear, dumpling-like appearance, as the term bánh bột lọc Huế loosely translates to "clear flour cake." In Vietnamese, the word bánh can mean "cake" or "bread," but can also be used as a general term for foods that are made from any type of flour, the most common being rice or tapioca.
