This list of genera in Chlorophyceae is sub-divided by order and family. Some genera have uncertain taxonomic placement and are listed as incertae sedis . The list is based on the data available in AlgaeBase , the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) and other taxonomic databases.
The Chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. [2] They are usually green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral- or ribbon-shaped in different species.
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 ...
Despite this, the families and genera are still in use, because the differences have not been reconciled into a single, useful classification system. [4] In 2008, Nakada et al. defined a number of well-supported clades within Chlamydomonadales using PhyloCode. Their relationships, as well as a few representative genera and species, are shown ...
Planktosphaeria is a genus of Chlorophyceae of the green algae. [1] It was first described by the phycologist Gilbert Morgan Smith in 1918, with Planktosphaeria gelatinosa as its type species . Species of Planktosphaeria are commonly found in freshwater plankton around the world.

The order comprises one family, Oedogoniaceae, with three genera. [2] Some common features among these genera may be obscure. The hairs of Bulbochaete and the heterotrichous system Oedocladium are similar to Chaetophorales, with which they may share a distant relationship. [3]
