Actinotaenium is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Desmidiaceae. [1]
Chlamydomonadales, also known as Volvocales, are an order of flagellated or pseudociliated green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae. Chlamydomonadales can form planar or spherical colonies. These vary from Gonium up to Volvox. Each cell has two flagella, and is similar in appearance to Chlamydomonas, with the flagella throughout the colony moving in coordination.
Prasiolales is an order of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae.
Ulotrichales is an order of green algae in the class Ulvophyceae.
Aphanochaetaceae is a family of algae in the order Chaetophorales.
Caulerpaceae is a family of green algae in the order Bryopsidales.
Chlorellaceae are a family of green algae in the order Chlorellales.
Chlorocystidaceae is a family of green algae. It is the only family in the order Chlorocystidales. The family was formerly placed in the order Ulotrichales.
Cladophoraceae are a family of green algae in the order the Cladophorales. This family includes notably the genus Chaetomorpha which has a few members used in saltwater aquariums.
The Dasycladaceae is one of the two extant families of green algae of the order Dasycladales. When found in Palaeozoic limestones, they typically indicate depositional depth of less than 5m.
Trentepohliaceae are a family of green algae in the order Trentepohliales.
Boergesenia is a genus of green algae in the family Siphonocladaceae.
Monomastix is a genus of green algae in the class Mamiellophyceae. It is the only genus in the family Monomastigaceae, which in turn is the only family in the order Monomastigales.
The Desmidiaceae are one of four families of charophyte green algae in the order Desmidiales (desmids).
The Gonatozygaceae are one of four families of Charophyte green algae in the order Desmidiales (desmids).
Bambusina is a genus of fresh-water green algae in the family Desmidiaceae.
Genicularina is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Gonatozygaceae.
Spondylosium is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Desmidiaceae.
Mesostigma is a genus of unicellular biflagellate freshwater green algae, with a single species Mesostigma viride, covered by an outer layer of basket‐like scales instead of a cell wall. As of February 2022, AlgaeBase classified it as the only genus in the family Mesostigmataceae, the only family in the order Mesostigmatales, the only order in the class Mesostigmatophyceae. It is now considered to be one of the earliest diverging members of green plants/algae (Viridiplantae).
