Chlorophyceae can reproduce both asexually and sexually. In asexual reproduction, cells may produce autospores, aplanospores or zoospores. Autospores (by definition) lack flagella and appear as smaller versions of vegetative cells. Zoospores typically have an elongate, hydrodynamic shape and often have eyespots.
An example of Chlorophyceae genus Pediastrum. The Chlorophyceae are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.
Chaetophorales is an order of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae. [1] Algae in the order Chaetophorales consist of filamentous, branched algae. The thalli have two parts, a prostrate and upright section and the filaments are variously branched. The algae are found in freshwater habitats or terrestrial habitats. [2]
Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...
Examples of useful products of Coelastrella species include carotenoids suchas astaxanthin, or lipids such as linoleic acid. The lipids may also be used for bioenergy purposes. [6] In addition to chemical production, Coelastrella has capacity for bioremediation or wastewater treatment. [6]
Characiochloridaceae is a family of green algae in the order Chlamydomonadales. [1]Characiochloridaceae consists of solitary or rarely clustered cells, attached to a substrate via a stalk or other adhesive organ.
Chlorochytriaceae is a family of algae within the order Chlamydomonadales. [1] Alternatively, it shows some morphological similarity to Characiosiphonaceae and closely related to it. [2]
Sphaeroplea consists of unbranched filaments of cells, one cell thick. Cells are usually 10–50 μm in diameter, but one variety can reach up to 170 μm in diameter. Cells are cylindrical, several times longer than wide, with a linear series of alternating vacuoles and cytoplasmic zones containing nuclei and chloroplasts.
