The Chlorophyceae, also known as chlorophycean algae, are one of the classes of green algae, within the phylum Chlorophyta. They are a large assemblage of mostly freshwater and terrestrial organisms; many members are important primary producers in the ecosystems they inhabit.
This list of genera in Chlorophyceae is sub-divided by order and family. Some genera have uncertain taxonomic placement and are listed as incertae sedis . The list is based on the data available in AlgaeBase , the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) and other taxonomic databases.
Chaetopeltidales are an order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae. [1] In comparison to other chlorophycean orders, the order is species-poor and was circumscribed relatively recently, in 1994; the key ultrastructural features include having zoospores with four flagella, with the basal bodies in a cruciate arrangement.
Chaetophorales is an order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae. [1] Algae in the order Chaetophorales consist of filamentous, branched algae. The thalli have two parts, a prostrate and upright section and the filaments are variously branched. The algae are found in freshwater habitats or terrestrial habitats. [2]
Planktosphaeria is a genus of Chlorophyceae of the green algae. [1] It was first described by the phycologist Gilbert Morgan Smith in 1918, with Planktosphaeria gelatinosa as its type species . Species of Planktosphaeria are commonly found in freshwater plankton around the world.
All of these taxa have basal body core connections. [2] Motile cells generally lack cell walls or have only a very fine layer surrounding the cell membrane . [ 4 ] Other common characteristics include a robust vegetative cell wall , cup-shaped chloroplasts with large pyrenoids , and relatively large nuclei .
