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.
Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single-celled or colonial green algae of the division Chlorophyta.The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella.
Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...

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.
Sphaeropleales is an order of green algae that used to be called Chlorococcales. [2] The order includes some of the most common freshwater planktonic algae such as Scenedesmus and Pediastrum. [3]
Chlamydomonadales, also known as Volvocales, are an order of flagellated or pseudociliated green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae. [1] Chlamydomonadales can form planar or spherical colonies. These vary from Gonium (four to 32 cells) up to Volvox (500 cells or more).
