Green microalgae, and Chlorophyta in particular, are considered as a renewable source of
valuable chemicals for biofuel, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical industries, among others …

Many organisms have developed defences to avoid predation by species at higher trophic
levels. The capability of primary producers to defend themselves against herbivores affects …

Two species of green algae, Chlorella sp. and Micractinium sp., were cultivated in primary
effluent wastewater and high-strength wastewater (a mixture of anaerobic digestion centrate …

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 …

Eukaryotic microalgae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria are globally the most important
primary producers, forming the base of food web in aquatic ecosystems. As such, they are …

Integrative taxonomy is an approach for defining species and genera by taking phylogenetic,
morphological, physiological, and ecological data into account. This approach is appropriate …

Symbiosis of green algae with protozoa and invertebrates has been studied for more than
100 years. Endosymbiotic green algae are widely distributed in ciliates (eg Paramecium …

After the description of Chlorella vulgaris by Beijerinck, 120 years ago, members of the
genus Chlorella belong to the best studied green algae worldwide. However, numerous …

The taxonomy of Volvocales (Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta) was traditionally based solely
on morphological characteristics. However, because recent molecular phylogeny largely …

While photosynthetic microalgae, such as Chlorella, serve as feedstocks for nutritional oils
and biofuels, heterotrophic cultivation can augment growth rates, support high cell densities …
