Green algae are also found symbiotically in the ciliate Paramecium, and in Hydra viridissima and in flatworms. Some species of green algae, particularly of genera Trebouxia of the class Trebouxiophyceae and Trentepohlia (class Ulvophyceae), can be found in symbiotic associations with fungi to form lichens. In general the fungal species that ...
Charales is an order of freshwater green algae in the division Charophyta, class Charophyceae, commonly known as stoneworts. Depending on the treatment of the genus Nitellopsis, living (extant) species are placed into either one family or two (Characeae and Feistiellaceae). Further families are used for fossil members of the order.
The classification of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae has undergone significant taxonomic revision in light of recent genetic studies. Genome sequencing has revealed substantial genetic variability, leading to the identification of distinct strains found around the world, such as strains like AFA FACHB-1287 [8], AFA FACHB-1265 [9], AFA NRERC-008 [10], isolates like AFA KM1D3_PB, [11] AFA UKL13-PB ...
Within the green algae, the earliest-branching lineages were grouped under the informal name of "prasinophytes", and they were all believed to belong to the Chlorophyta clade. [46] However, in 2020 a study recovered a new clade and division known as Prasinodermophyta , which contains two prasinophyte lineages previously considered chlorophytes ...
Carl Linnaeus's garden at Uppsala, Sweden Title page of Species Plantarum, 1753. The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN or ICNafp) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants, fungi and a few other groups of organisms, all those "traditionally treated as algae, fungi, or plants".

The endosymbiotic green algae may have been acquired through myzocytosis rather than phagocytosis. [23] (Another group with green algae endosymbionts is the dinoflagellate genus Lepidodinium, which has replaced its original endosymbiont of red algal origin with one of green algal origin. A nucleomorph is present, and the host genome still have ...
Chloropicophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta that, along with Picocystophyceae, coincides with the traditional "prasinophyte clade VII". [1] Chloropicophyceae has a single order, Chloropicales with a single family, Chloropicaceae .
Chlamydomonas (/ ˌ k l æ m ɪ ˈ d ɒ m ə n ə s,-d ə ˈ m oʊ-/ KLAM-ih-DOM-ə-nəs, -də-MOH-) is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species [2] of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae". [3]
