An example of Chlorophyceae genus
Pediastrum .
The Chlorophyceae are a
class of
green algae , distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. 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 , depending on the species. Most of the members have one or more storage bodies called
pyrenoids located in the chloroplast. Pyrenoids contain protein besides
starch . Some algae may store food in the form of oil droplets. Green algae usually have a rigid cell wall made up of an inner layer of
cellulose and outer layer of
pectose .
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.
