Insights on <i>Lulworthiales</i> Inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea and Description of Three Novel Species of the Genus <i>Paralulworthia</i>

The order <i>Lulworthiales</i>, with its sole family <i>Lulworthiaceae</i>, consists of strictly marine genera found on a wide range of substrates such as seagrasses, seaweeds, and seafoam. Twenty-one unidentified <i>Lulworthiales</i> were isolated in previous sur...
