Pithophoraceae is a family of green algae in the order Cladophorales. [1]
The glaucophytes, also known as glaucocystophytes or glaucocystids, are a small group of freshwater unicellular algae, less common today than they were during the Proterozoic. Only 15 species have been described, but more species are likely to exist. Together with the red algae (Rhodophyta) and the green algae plus land plants, they form the Archaeplastida. However, the relationships among the red algae, green algae and glaucophytes are unclear, in large part due to limited study of the glaucophytes.
Ulvales is an order of green algae.
AlgaeBase is a global species database of information on all groups of algae, as well as one group of flowering plants, the sea-grasses.
Pedinophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta.
The Trebouxiophyceae are a class of green algae, in the division Chlorophyta. Their circumscription within the green algae is not well established due to the need for more genetic studies at higher levels within the group.
Chaetophorales is an order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae.
Basicladia is a genus of green algae in the family Pithophoraceae.
Wittrockiella is a genus of green algae in the family Pithophoraceae. This genus was first described by Nordal Wille in 1909.
The Mesostigmatophyceae are a class of basal green algae found in freshwater originally containing two species in a single genus, Mesostigma. Now, a clade containing Chlorokybus and Spirotaenia has been added.. The Mesostigmatophyceae are either placed as sister to all other green algae, or more conventionally as sister to all Streptophyta.
Botrydiaceae is a family of yellow-green algae comprising 13 species in three genera. It is the only family in the order Botrydiales.
Mamiellophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta.
Pyramimonadophyceae is a class of green algae in the division Chlorophyta.
Nephroselmidaceae is a family of green algae, the only family in the order Nephroselmidales and the class Nephrophyceae within the division Chlorophyta.
Pyramimonadaceae is a family of green algae.
