Chlorogonium is a genus of green algae in the family Haematococcaceae. [1] This alga has a notable mutualistic relationship with the American toad, allowing the tadpoles to develop faster when covered with Chlorogonium. [2]
In taxonomy, Ascochloris is a genus of green algae. It is classified within the order Sphaeropleales.
Chlamydocapsa is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae.
In taxonomy, Chlorococcopsis is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorococcaceae.
Chlorodesmis is a genus of green algae in the family Udoteaceae. Algae in this genus produce the toxic diterpene chlorodesmin to defend themselves against generalist herbivores This toxin also kills certain corals that touch the alga. Certain fish like the green coral goby that live in the corals eat the alga to enhance their own toxicity. Other coral dwelling fish like Paragobiodon echinocephalus actively trim the alga even though they don't eat it.
In taxonomy, Fasciculochloris is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorococcaceae.
In taxonomy, Gloeococcus is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chaetophorales.
In taxonomy, Heterotetracystis is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorococcaceae.
Monostroma is a genus of marine green algae (seaweed) in the family Monostromataceae. As the name suggests, algae of this genus are monostromatic. Monostroma kuroshiense, an algae of this genus, is commercially cultivated in East Asia and South America for the edible product "hitoegusa-nori" or "hirohano-hitoegusa nori", popular sushi wraps. Monostroma oligosaccharides with degree of polymerization 6 prepared by agarase digestion from Monostroma nitidum polysaccharides have been shown to be an effective prophylactic agent during in vitro and in vivo tests against Japanese encephalitis viral infection. The sulfated oligosaccharides from Monostroma seem to be promising candidates for further development as antiviral agents. The genus Monostroma is the most widely cultivated genus among green seaweeds.
