Scope note: División constituida principalmente por EUCARIOTAS marinos, comúnmente denominados algas marrones, que poseen CROMATÓFOROS que contienen PIGMENTOS BIOLÓGICOS carotenoides. Los ALGINATOS y florotaninos se dan ampliamente en todos los órdenes mayores. Se consideran las algas más evolucionadas debido a su organización multicelular bien desarrollada y a su complejidad estructural.
