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 .
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.
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 ...

Chlamydomonadales, also known as Volvocales, are an order of flagellated or pseudociliated green algae, specifically of the Chlorophyceae. [1] Chlamydomonadales can form planar or spherical colonies. These vary from Gonium (four to 32 cells) up to Volvox (500 cells or more).

The name Chlamydomonas comes from the Greek roots chlamys, meaning cloak or mantle, and monas, meaning solitary, now used conventionally for unicellular flagellates. [ 8 ] Description
First named Oedogoniaceen (in German), the name Oedogoniales is derived from the Latin oedos (meaning swelling or tumor) and gonos (meaning offspring or seed). This name describes the morphology that Hirn witnessed during Oedogonium sexual and asexual reproduction and later described in his publication, “Monographie und iconographie der Oedogoniaceen."
