Genera [1]

Prasiolaceae is a family of green algae in the order Prasiolales. [2] Members of this family are found in freshwater, terrestrial, and marine habitats. [3]

Algae in the family Prasiolaceae consist of thalli with blades a single cell thick (i.e. monostromatic). Vegetative cells are polygonal with two to four cells arranged within a parent cell wall. Each cell has a single, stellate chloroplast and a central pyrenoid. [4]

Traditionally, it was the only family in the order Prasiolales. [5] However, molecular phylogenetics have shown that additional algae with simple morphologies, such as Stichococcus , also belong to the same clade as this family. [6]

Phylogeny

Molecular phylogenetic studies suggest the following relationships: [7]

Another, older study places Prasionella as sister to Rosenvingiella. [5] The above cladogram excludes the genus Schizogonium , which is taxonomically problematic and likely a synonym of Rosenvingiella . [8]
