Craticula

Craticula is a genus of diatom that lies on or in the top layers of sediments in the freshwater to brackish water environments it inhabits.[1][2][3] In addition to frustule morphology the genus differs from closely related species by its sexual reproduction and movement in response to light.[2][3][4]

For the Palaeozoic coralline alga, see Graticula.
