Oogamochlamys is a genus of green algae in the family Chlamydomonadaceae. [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.
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.
Palmellopsis is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Palmellopsidaceae. They are either planktonic or attached to substrates in fresh water, or in aeroterrestrial habitats.
The Gonatozygaceae are one of four families of Charophyte green algae in the order Desmidiales (desmids).
Cosmocladium is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Desmidiaceae. Currently there are 7 accepted species, though there are 11 described. The holotype is Cosmocladium pulchellum Brébisson described in 1856.
Genicularina is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Gonatozygaceae.
