Microthamnion is a genus of green algae in the family Microthamniaceae. [1] [2]
The Prorocentrales are a small order of dinoflagellates. They are distinguished by having their two flagella inserted apically, rather than ventrally as in other groups. One flagellum extends forward and the other circles its base, and there are no flagellar grooves. This arrangement is called desmokont, in contrast to the dinokont arrangement found in other groups. Accordingly, the Prorocentrales may be called desmoflagellates, and in some classifications were treated as a separate class Desmophyceae.
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 (Characeae) or two. Further families are used for fossil members of the order. Linnaeus established the genus Chara in 1753.
Bracteacoccus helveticus is a species of green algae, in the family Bracteacoccaceae. Under its synonym Cryococcus helveticus, it was the only species in the genus Cryococcus.
Chlorokybus is a multicellular (sarcinoid) genus of basal green algae or charophyte, a soil alga. It has been classified as the sole member of the family Chlorokybaceae, which is the sole member of the order Chlorokybales, in turn the sole member of the class Chlorokybophyceae.
Mesostigma is a genus of freshwater green algae, with a single species Mesostigma viride. 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).
Coleochaetaceae is a family of algae. It is the only family in the Coleochaetales, an order of parenchymous charophyte algae, that includes some of the closest multicellular relatives of land plants. They questionably include the fossil genus Parka.
The Rivulariaceae are a family of cyanobacteria within the Nostocales in which the filaments (trichomes) are tapered from wider at the base to narrower at the tip.
Klebsormidiales is an order of charophyte algae. It is the only order in the class Klebsormidiophyceae. As of February 2022, AlgaeBase accepted two families in the order:
Pyramimonadaceae is a family of green algae.
Sycidiales is an order of fossil charophyte green algae. The reproductive structures in Sycidales have a calcified cover, called a utricle, that is thought to prevent the zygote being dessiccated. Other Paleozoic families lack this cover, as do modern charophytes. Fossils of the family Sycidiaceae are found over the longest time span, from the Silurian to the Carboniferous.
