Home›Diatoms and Other Microalgae›Green Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta)GroupGreen Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta)Green Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta) is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers single-celled and colonial green algae, such as Chlamydomonas, Volvox, Chlorella and Spirogyra. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is a green alga. It excludes diatoms, euglenoids and seaweeds. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.Browse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Browse ByAll Green Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta)Green Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta)7 entriesGreen Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta)Filter Results7 entriesCommon GroupAllGreen Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta) (7)TaxonomyAllChlorophyceae (3)Chlorophyta (3)Plantae (1)HabitatAllFreshwater (3)Marine (1)Conservation StatusAllNot Evaluated (3)Everyday GroupAllGreen Microalgae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta) (7)DietAllDetritivore or Scavenger (1)Photosynthetic Autotroph (5)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (5)Marine (2)Terrestrial (1)Relationship to PeopleAllEcotourism and Research (3)Farmed or Commercially Raised (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (4)Where It LivesAllBelgium (1)Brazil (1)Denmark (1)Norway (4)Sweden (3)United States (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 7ChlamydomonasDiatoms and Other Microalgae2 linksChlamydomonas ReinhardtiiDiatoms and Other Microalgae1 linkChlorellaDiatoms and Other Microalgae1 linkOstreococcus TauriDiatoms and Other Microalgae2 linksPrototheca WickerhamiiDiatoms and Other Microalgae1 linkSpirogyraDiatoms and Other Microalgae2 linksVolvoxDiatoms and Other Microalgae2 linksSourcesWikipedia: VolvoxHas Member: Volvox, LeadQuote, Has Member: Volvox, LeadVolvox is a polyphyletic genus of chlorophyte green algae in the family Volvocaceae.View the SourceSpirogyra, WikipediaHas Member: Spirogyra, LeadQuote, Has Member: Spirogyra, LeadSpirogyra (common names include water silk, mermaid's tresses, and blanket weed) is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae of the family Spirogyraceae, named for the helical or spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts that is characteristic of the genus.View the SourceChlamydomonas - WikipediaHas Member: Chlamydomonas, LeadQuote, Has Member: Chlamydomonas, LeadChlamydomonas ( KLAM-ih-DOM-ə-nəs, -də-MOH-) is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae".
