Phosphorous is a real word, but here it seems more likely to be a misspelling of phosphorus. Can't be sure though as I don't know anything about cladophora. -- Trovatore ( talk) 09:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
This speices is a protist, not a plant, as are most, if not all, algeas. 72.49.27.232 ( talk) 00:32, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Cladophora is not invasive in the great lakes: the genus is native there. Huge increases in the algae have been caused by invasive mussels, but the species involved are native to the region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.170.14.2 ( talk) 04:12, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
These two articles are the same plant. The content should be combined and placed on the genus page. -- Nessie ( talk) 20:05, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
A new polymer-cellulosic battery is being developed, based on the geometry of Cladophora algae. Cladophora has a unique cellulosic cell structure with a very high surface area. Algal cellulose actually has a fundamentally different nanostructure from terrestrial plant cellulose. This forms an excellent template for surface modification to include a conducting polymer. By looking to nature, the Angstrom Lab's scientists were able to clear a substantial hurdle in the field of polymer-cellulose batteries.
