Although most green algae typically occur in aquatic ecosystems, many species also live
partly or permanently under aeroterrestrial conditions, where the cells are exposed to the …

This review discusses the main developments in the systematics of coccoid green algae
over the last three decades. The relationships of key groups of planktonic coccoid green …

Background Among the various biochemical markers, fatty acids or lipid profiles represent a
chemically relatively inert class of compounds that is easy to isolate from biological material …

Abstract Effects of photoperiod were investigated in lab-scale photobioreactors containing
algal-bacterial consortia to reduce organic nutrients from municipal wastewater. Under three …

Over the past two decades, molecular phylogenetic data have allowed evaluations of
hypotheses on the evolution of green algae based on vegetative morphological and …

Plastids (chloroplasts) are endosymbiotic organelles derived from previously free-living
cyanobacteria. They are dependent on their host cell to the degree that the majority of the …

The genus Chlamydomonas (including Chloromonas) is one of the largest green algal
genera comprising more than 600 species. To initiate a comprehensive analysis of the …

Chlorella is one of the archetypical forms of coccoid green algae and one of the best-studied
phototrophic eukaryotes. However, its systematics remains enigmatic due to conflicts …

The green algae and land plants form a monophyletic lineage (the chlorophytes) that
contains both protistan and higher taxa (Graham, 1996). An important issue regarding the …

Analyses of ITS‐2 ribosomal DNA from Scenedesmus and Scenedesmus‐like strains
showed that this molecule is well suited for resolving evolutionary relationships at various …
