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.

Chlorophyceae: Order: Chlamydomonadales: Family: Sphaerocystidaceae Fott ex P.M.Tsarenko [1] Genera; See text. Sphaerocystidaceae is a family of chlorophyte green ...
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 ...
Yamagishiella differs from Eudorina by its isogamous sexual reproduction, but the vegetative morphology and asexual reproduction characteristics of these two genera (especially Y. unicocca and E. unicocca) are indistinguishable. [2]
Green algae, Scenedesmus Green algae, Crucigenia Scenedesmaceae is a family of green algae in the order Sphaeropleales. Scenedesmus algae are commonly found in freshwater plankton.
