Muriella is a genus of green algae in the class Trebouxiophyceae. [1] It is named after Muriel Bristol. [2]
Chlamydomonas is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae". Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism for molecular biology, especially studies of flagellar motility and chloroplast dynamics, biogenesis, and genetics. One of the many striking features of Chlamydomonas is that it contains ion channels (channelrhodopsins) that are directly activated by light. Some regulatory systems of Chlamydomonas are more complex than their homologs in Gymnosperms, with evolutionarily related regulatory proteins being larger and containing additional domains.
Ulothrix is a genus of green algae in the family Ulotrichaceae.
Blanche Muriel Bristol was a British phycologist who worked at Rothamsted Research in 1919. Her research focused on the mechanisms by which algae acquire nutrients.
Mamiellales are an order of green algae in the class Mamiellophyceae. Their cells and flagella are covered with spiderweb-like scales of several types. Some species lack scales but possess pigments similar to those of the scale-bearing species.
Pyramimonadales are an order of green algae in the Chlorophyta. The chloroplasts of phototrophic euglenids probably came from endosymbiosis with a member of this order.
Chlorellaceae are a family of green algae in the order Chlorellales.
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.
Bracteacoccus is a genus of green algae, the sole genus of the family Bracteacoccaceae. It is a terrestrial alga commonly found in soils, from the tropics to the poles.
Chlamydocapsa is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae.
Collinsiella is a genus of green algae in the order Ulotrichales.
Dysmorphococcus is a genus of green algae in the order Chlamydomonadales. It is a freshwater type of algae.
Halosarcinochlamys is a genus of green algae in the family Chlamydomonadaceae according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). No such genus is listed by AlgaeBase.
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.
Physolinum is a genus of green algae in the family Trentepohliaceae. The only species in the genus, Physolinum monilia, is currently regarded as a synonym of Trentepohlia rigidula.
Pithophora is a genus of green algae in the family Pithophoraceae.
Prototheca is a genus of algae in the family Chlorellaceae. While taxonomy classifies this genus as member of the green algae, all species in this genus have lost their chloroplasts and thus forfeited their photosynthetic ability. Some species can cause protothecosis in humans and various vertebratae.
Trentepohlia is a genus of filamentous chlorophyte green algae in the family Trentepohliaceae, living free on terrestrial supports such as tree trunks and wet rocks or symbiotically in lichens. The filaments of Trentepohlia have a strong orange colour caused by the presence of large quantities of carotenoid pigments which mask the green of the chlorophyll.
Penium is a genus of green algae, and the sole member of the family Peniaceae. The genus contains about 39 species.
Staurodesmus is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Desmidiaceae.
