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.
